The new year did not start exactly as we all wished like, or at least as we all hoped. We all saw new beginning and a new chance for change in it.
But what it is different from previous years, this year we hope that the Covid-19 crisis will finally come to an end. But can we really expect everything to pass so quickly?
Despite our strong desire, the new year continued with the same pace breaking all the records of infected, hospitalizations and number of deaths. It will probably take some time before the Covid-19 begins to subside. We all expect the long-awaited vaccine as well as the mass vaccination to give results and start returning our lives back to normal, but it will still take at least a few months for this to take effect.
Until we reach the desired point, it’s the best for each of us to try to stay healthy and not get infected with the virus by following the three golden rules: distance, hygiene and wearing a mask.
In some situations, despite following all these rules, the chances of getting the virus are higher. Therefore, according to Dr. Fauci, these are the most dangerous places we could get infected with the virus and we should avoid them at all costs:
-
Bars
Not all of them. Although it sounds scary, bars are not that dangerous but only if they provide outdoor service. The chances of getting the virus increase sharply if you sit in a bar indoors. In that case, the bars are one of the most dangerous places to get infected during the pandemic.
-
Restaurants
Similar to bars, if the restaurant offers an open-air service the chances of getting Covid-19 are drastically lower. But if you sit indoors, the opposite happens. In some cases, restaurants are also a greater risk than bars, because most often a large number of people – staff participate in the work process.
-
Gym
Although it is very important to exercise on a daily basis, during a pandemic, gyms are on the list of most dangerous places to get infected with Covid-19. It is assumed that the chances of getting the virus in the gym are at least 10 times higher than in a boutique or supermarket. Try exercising outdoors.
-
Churches or other religious facilities
Churches and other religious facilities rank high on the list because it happens very often crowds form to be formed in them and there are large numbers of people without the possibility of physical distance. It is advisable to do your religious duties at home for the general well-being.
