With the increase of the COVID-19, the public should realize by now, this virus is for real and it’s not going away over night. So people should take every precaution they can to avoid getting the virus. We all know it’s hard to get out of our daily habits we have been doing for years. Whatever you do, you must do everything to avoid this virus, keep your health is number one. Get serious. As for wearing a mask, good idea. But what I advise is taking your temperature every day is the sure way. And if it is above 100.4, call your doctor within two days for his medical advice on what to do next. There can be a lot of symptoms of fever and not the virus, but let your doctor decide.
