It is therefore advisable to continue following all necessary precautions as the risk of the coronavirus will not fade away immediately.

Here are 5 things you should not do immediately after the lockdown ends

Ease in lockdown restrictions will not necessarily mean that the coronavirus outbreak is over and you don’t need to follow personal hygiene practices. One must wash hands after coming from outside and after touching frequently-touched surfaces. Maintain your respiratory hygiene while in public. The reason behind the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide is because of coughing and sneezing droplets, so cover your mouth with a tissue while coughing or sneezing. If unable to wash hands, use an alcohol-based sanitizer. Practicing hygiene will not only prevent coronavirus but can also keep several other diseases at bay.

2. Don’t throw large parties at home

3. Don’t throw away masks

4. Eating unhealthy food

Have a healthy diet and lifestyle. During COVID-19, it is important to boost your immunity. Therefore, ensure that you should take adequate intake of antioxidants, avoid binge-eating unhealthy snacks, and ordering food from outside.
