  There is a new term that has been circulating online. If you happen to come across the term Quarantine Tribute, either 1. You are that person in your household or 2. You are a fan of these responsible quarantine tributes that risk themselves just to secure the family’s supplies during the quarantine.

  Quarantine Tributes are those who are holders of quarantine passes who go out every time to do grocery runs.

  Aside from completing your grocery list, as Quarantine Tribute, how can you make sure that you are safe from contacting the virus and you don’t bring them to your spouse and kids?

  According to esquiremag.ph, Dr. Bill Griggs, former trauma services director of The Royal Adelaide Hospital in South Australia, has come up with a detailed checklist in order for you to protect yourself and prevent spreading the virus since you can be a potential carrier of the virus.

  Dr. Briggs breaks down the checklist into three parts: Before leaving home, While out, and Arriving home. Because you can never be too careful.

  Before doing your grocery run

  1.Avoid wearing unnecessary accessories, you don’t want to clean these accessories afterwards, right?

  2. Wear short sleeves top so you can clean your arms and hands easily.

  3. Bring less stuff as you can whenever you go out of your house.

  4. Plan your trip. Make sure you do all your errands in one go.

  5. Always wear a surgical mask when going out. There are establishments where they don’t allow people without masks to go in.

  6. Always keep your alcohol handy.

  While you are out

  7. Avoid using your phone if unnecessary.

  8. Don’t touch your face at all times.

  9. Don’t touch anything with your hands and practice physical distancing.

  10. Disinfect your hands regularly.

  11. Push doors with your feet, elbow, or shoulder.

  12. Avoid cash payments whenever you can. Virus can be transmitted this way.

  13. Avoid eating out. If you can spend less time outside, do so.

  Arriving home

  14. Sanitize everything before bringing it inside your home from your personal stuff up to your newly bought items.

  15. Clean your car.

  16. Provide a sanitation station outside your home.

  17. Remove your shoes and leave them outside your door.

  18. Avoid touching anything inside your house.

  19. Wash your hands and forearms thoroughly.

  20. Go straight to the shower and put all your used clothes in a resealable bag or basket. These should be washed and sanitized properly.

  There you have it! It pays to be responsible to avoid contacting the virus and passing it on to your family. You don’t want your family to get the virus from you so follow the checklist and stay safe as possible.

  Being a responsible Quarantine Tribute will help a lot in preventing the spread of virus. Pass on the information and not the virus. Keep yourself safe and your family as well.
