Top Tips on Staying Safe in Public During the Pandemic



Social distancing and isolation is the best way to stay safe during the coronavirus outbreak, but sometimes you need to step out. At Simply Cremations, we encourage people to take every precaution necessary to be safe. Here are some tips that can help you do just that:

1. Maintain Distance

Maintain around 6 feet of distance with other people and avoid confined places like crowded elevators or small rooms if possible. Many experts speculate that the virus can linger in the air in aerosol form for a few minutes in confined places so you may inhale it unknowingly.

2. Avoid Touching Your Face

Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes while you’re out in public. Most people have to touch items like door handles, cash, credit cards, products, etc, while they’re out. The best way to avoid the virus getting into your body is to keep your hands away from vulnerable areas.

3. Wear a Mask

Wear a mask if you have the slightest cough or cold. While experts are still divided whether masks are effective in protecting people from the virus, they can help curtail the spread. If you don't already have a mask, make one at home instead of buying N95 ones from stores. Healthcare workers and other essential service providers need these masks more than most. There's an acute shortage of them all over the world.

4.Wash Your Hands

Wash your hands for 20 seconds at least three times a day, even if you’re not getting out of the house. Always wash your hands before going out and after coming home. Use a regular hand wash instead of a hand sanitizer because it is more effective. Carry a sanitizer along with you if necessary.

  At Simply Cremations & Funeral Services, we have observed that cremation is the most popular method of disposition in the province, with about 65% of the population choosing cremation as their final disposition.
