Government of NCT,Delhi issued a notice saying “in the view of upcoming festival diwali,keep social distancing in market areas”
There is no denying that coronavirus has extracted all the fun out of the festive season. The truth, however, is that this is the new normal. Instead of thinking about all the things that won’t be happening because of the pandemic, it is time to think about all the things to do in order to keep this Diwali safe.
The expert suggested these 5 golden rules you need to follow to protect yourself and your loved ones from covid-19 this Diwali:
1. Wearing a mask is a must
If you are going to someone’s place or someone is coming to greet you, don’t forget to keep your masks on. It is only understandable that you would want to see with your loved ones during the festive season but wearing masks is the best way to stay safe.
2. Keep your hand sanitizer away from the fire
Sanitizers are alcohol-based which means they are inflammable. You have to make it a point to keep them away from the area where you will be placing the diyas.
3. Wash your hands instead of sanitizing
Lighting diyas and candles all around the house is a special tradition for everyone celebrating Diwali. Keep in mind that sanitizing your hands might cause harm. Hence, it is best to wash your hands instead of sanitizing.
4.Cook at home
What is a Diwali celebration without sweets? However, it is best to avoid consuming any eatables from outside to reduce the chances of infection. Therefore, it is better to make homemade sweets. In fact, you can turn it into quality family time like the old days!
5. Don’t forget social distancing
Well, this rule is something you cannot compromise on. This is particularly for those who will be attending events such as festivals or house parties. What’s more, try to avoid events that are indoors because it could contribute to increasing your chances of getting infected with the coronavirus.
