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.
