My Plan for Staying Safe. To stay safe, I will:
- Walk/ride a bike instead of ride shares or public transportation
- Get an outdoor table at a restaurant
- Wear a mask
- Carry and use hand sanitizer
- Stay 6 feet away from others
- Sit away from others at church
- Give air hugs
- Avoid touching eyes, mouth and nose
- Call ahead to ask what safety measures are in place
- Carry disinfectant wipes to clean surfaces
- Tell family/friends about my personal safety boundaries
- Airdrop/text photos rather than handing my phone over
- Meet with family or friends outside
- Not share food or drinks
- Ask others to wear masks too
- Wash hands before and after meals
- Shop in a less crowded part of the store
- Elbow bump instead of shaking hands
- Wipe down credit/debit cards
- Wash my hands after arriving home
- Not pick up things other people have been using (e.g. basketball, game controllers, pens, utensils, books)
- Pay online or ahead of time when possible
- Sanitize my cell phone/tablet after being out
Am I ready to get back to this activity safely?
- Yes
- No, I need more info/support
