Check out some ways to keep yourself safe during Diwali in pandemic times:
Diwali is just around the corner but the global pandemic of novel coronavirus is still here to disrupt the vibe and energy of this beautiful festival. However, don’t let your excitement get dull, you can still have fun while following some guidelines. To ensure the safety and security of the people government have issued some rules and regulations on how to celebrate the festivals this year:
- Don’t use sanitizer before lighting Diya/candles
Avoid using hand sanitizer that is alcohol-based before lighting diyas, candles, or any such things. We recommend this because sanitizers are inflammable and can cause fire hazards. Wash your hands with soap and water before lighting fire.
- Carry water
Other than carrying sanitizers everywhere you can consider carrying water and paper soap rather. They are safer and you can easily wash your hands anywhere without the danger of catching fire.
- Wear your mask
It is really important to take all the necessary precautions. Use of a mask is necessary these days, every time you step out don’t forget to wear a mask. Cover your nose and mouth to save yourself from getting the infection.
- Social distancing is the key
Yes, festivals are about togetherness but this festive season, try to adjust to the new normal and avoid meeting people physically. It is recommended that you celebrate Diwali indoors and if you are meeting someone avoids shaking hands.
- Sanitizer away from fire
Sanitizer bottles are common in households these days, but remember to keep them away from fire. Place them in a safe place.
- Go out only when Important
Avoid going out to crowded markets and using public transport as much as possible.
