Choosing a safe zone is a priority in determining vacation locations and avoiding red zones because of the high risk of contracting Covid-19. However, if forced to come to the red zone, it is necessary to implement extra strict health protocols such as wearing a mask, maintaining distance and washing hands. “Going to the mall or anywhere in the red zone is risky. So don’t forget to wear a mask, keep your distance and avoid crowds, wash your hands with soap,” he said.

1. Avoid drooling while talking
