You must always be very careful when entering and exiting your house and follow these recommendations:
For you to leave home safely:
- When you leave the house, put on a long-sleeved jacket.
- Put your hair up, do not wear earrings, bracelets, or rings, this way you will avoid touching your face.
- If you have a mask, put it on last, just before you go out.
- Try not to use public transport.
- If you go with your pet, try not to rub against surfaces outside.
