Should I…
- Go out? Keep it short
Everyone should cut long time outdoors. Sensitive groups: go out only if needed, with a well-fitted N95/KN95.
- Exercise outdoors? Indoors
Move workouts indoors. Hard breathing outdoors pulls more fine particles into your lungs.
- Open windows? Keep closed
Keep windows and doors shut. Run an air purifier if you have one; avoid frying and incense indoors.
- School run? Mask on the way
A mask for the commute, no outdoor PE or assembly. Follow any official closure notice.
