01. Avoid hugging and handshakes during celebrations. Remember what health experts advised in the early days of Covid-19 pandemic in India: Say Namaste!

02. Don’t invite people from outside to celebrate the festival at your home. You can never be sure about the level of coronavirus exposure of your possible guests.

03. Don’t celebrate festivals with the big congregation, where people with unknown travel history may be part of the celebration.

04. Do not eat anything until you have taken a shower, cleaned and sanitized your body, and disposed of your clothes safely.

06. Don’t leave your current place of residence to celebrate the festival in some other town. Avoid using public transport for travel.

07. Don’t be part of any procession during the festivals. Many state governments have imposed a ban on taking out processions. Avoid gathering around the pyre for celebratory Holika Dahan.
