  Precautions during Quarantine

  During Covid-19 people became more conscious of going outside and interacting with the public. The risk of contracting the virus was high and was extremely dangerous for those members of the public who had health issues. My grandmother is one of those people. She is immunosuppressed and has respiratory issues. Given her health making her at a higher risk, my family started our own disinfecting station to clean or wipe down any items that came from the grocery store or were delivered. This greatly mitigated the risk of my grandmother contracting the virus. As we watched the number of cases rise in our state every day, we took solace in knowing that we were doing everything we could to protect ourselves, others, and my grandmother. #REL101

  Staying safe during quarantine

  When Covid-19 broke out, everyone began to be more conscious when it came to going out and interacting with the public. The risk of contracting the virus was high and extremely dangerous to some people with health issues. That was the case with my grandmother who is immunosuppressed and has respiratory issues. In order to protect ourselves, and especially her, my family limited going out to just grocery store runs and any traveling for work. We set up our own disinfecting station where we wiped down anything that came from the grocery store or mail, as well as thoroughly washing our hands during the process. We watched the news carefully every day and saw the number of infected cases rise each day, but took solace in knowing that my grandmother was safe and healthy.
