Staying at home and avoiding unnecessary interaction with strangers is essential during the Coronavirus pandemic. Not only that it reduces the risks of getting ourselves infected, but it also helps the society to stop the spread of the virus and get back to normal sooner rather than later. Social distancing is necessary to reduce the number of people infected, the number of deaths, the strain on the healthcare system and the duration of the pandemic.

For elderly people and those with preexisting conditions, staying at home is even more important, because the virus can pose life threatening risks. This is why we have compiled a small list of tips that will help you do many activities that normally require going out from the safety of your own home.

Shop Online

Shopping for essentials is one of the main reasons everyone needs to go out even during the pandemic. It is one of the activities that is permitted even in the most strictly enforced quarantines. However, there is a better way to shop without exposing yourself to the risk of getting to close to other people. Shopping online has two major benefits: it allows you to shop without going out of your house and it reduces the number of people that go to brick and mortar stores. So shopping online not only helps you avoid unnecessary risks, but it also helps society as a whole to reduce the risk of contagion.

Many people may think that you can’t find everything you need online, so you will still need to go to a brick and mortar shop. This is mostly not true, because now you can shop online at Amazon for almost anything, from groceries to whatever you may think of.
