Which activities can you safely enjoy this summer -- and which ones should you avoid? When making your decisions, WebMD Chief Medical Officer drjohnwhyte wants you to remember these four factors:
The weather is finally sunny and warm – summer is back! But there’s still a pandemic to consider. So, what activities you can do safely this summer, and which ones should you avoid? When making your decisions, consider four factors: person, place, space, and time.– How many people will be involved? You still want to try to keep the number of people around you to less than 10 people.
Whatever activities you do, avoid touching your face and be diligent about washing your hands. The CDC recently issued athat clarified the transmission of the virus from surfaces is low, but it’s still wise to clean and disinfect surfaces and pay attention to what you’re touching. Most importantly, wear facial coverings/masks when you are around other people. The main method of transmission is through respiratory droplets, so keeping your nose and mouth covered is one of the best ways you can protect yourself .
You also need to keep in mind your individual risk and the rate of infection in your local community. If your risk is increased because of conditions such diabetes, heart disease, severe asthma, cancer, or age, then you need to be more careful about each activity. The infection rate in your local community also should play a role in your decision. Stay informed about the number of cases in your area and check the latest recommendations from your local public health department.
Summer activities are going to look different this year, so managing expectations is important. You won’t be able to do everything the same way you did last summer, but you can still have a lot of fun. Focus first on safety, and the fun will follow!
