Do Not Hoard N95 Medical Masks
At the moment, most places are running low on N95 surgical masks even though the CDC does not recommend them for public use. The masks are needed by medical front liners who work in close contact with people suffering from COVID-19. The CDC recently started to recommend the general public to opt for cloth masks instead. The masks are good enough to slow the spread of the virus by restricting the contraction from one person to another.

Do Not Buy Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizers
It is true that hand sanitizer might help, but you should know which ones to get. The alcohol-free ones are typically more expensive but don’t help prevent COVID-19. If you want to ward off the virus, you should pick hand sanitizers that have an alcohol content of anywhere from 60% to 90%. You might think that using hand sanitizers are more effective, hand washing is actually better. “Viruses are most effectively killed and removed from hands with soap and water,” explained Neha Nanda, who is an infection prevention medical director. Hand sanitizers are still handy when you are on the go, however.
