Do Not Buy Groceries Out Of Panic

Regardless of how fearful you now feel, you should avoid going to the grocery store often. “The best practice that I would recommend is to try to avoid going into the store where possible,” explained Aaron E. Glatt, who serves as an Infectious Diseases Society spokesman. By consistently getting supplies, you are only putting yourself at risk and wasting money. You should only drop by the grocery store when you are low on daily items. Lindsey Gottlieb, the Mount Sinai Morningside director of infection prevention, recommended going to the store during the slow hours and stock up for two weeks at a time.

Water Purifiers Cannot Filter Out The Coronavirus

You are better off ignoring those water purifiers that claim to be capable of “filtering out” the coronavirus. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said that there is no scientific basis that COVID-19 can live on in tap water. There is no need to buy a fancy new water purifier. According to the CDC, most water systems are good enough to get rid of any potential COVID-19 traces. Feel free to go and buy a new water purifier if you want your water to taste better, but you do not have to stock up.
