We're facing a global pandemic with over 1,000,000 people infected with SARS-COV-2.
Things people have been told to do:
1. Practice physical/social distancing (1 to 2 meters depending on the source).
2. Frequent hand hygeine (20 secs with soap and water or 70% alcohol)
3. Stay at home unless you really need to.
Now, an additional recommendation has been given which is to wear masks (and this will probably be part of the new normal).
But please don't hoard surgical masks, N95s or FFP3s as our frontliners need them most.
The alternative: cloth masks. Make them yourself or buy them from others. But use these when you're outside.
