What Covid-19 precautions are you taking during your day to day life?


I live in a big city and want to be as safe as possible, but do it in a sensible way (i.e. I am not wearing face masks as that encourages me to touch my face, I am hand sanitising regularly).

What are you doing?

Thank you

* Washing hands 20 seconds with soap whenever leaving the house.

* Avoiding public transit (Berlin trains and subways) by biking for my commute.

* Our office will likely switch to full work from home mode in the next couple of weeks as the case count here increases. Many other tech companies in Berlin are doing the same.

* Growing my personal space bubble, standing and sitting further away from other people when possible.

* Eating out less.

None of these things are much of an extra burden on my life and are generally positive things regardless of covid-19.

I'm generally still going outside and doing things. Travel plans for an Italy vacation I had have been cancelled, but I need to use the vacation time, so I'm going to go to some Museums in Berlin this week. At the current rate of ~4-10 new confirmed cases per day in a city of 3.75 million people, I'm not drastically altering my life. When that changes to 100-1,000 new cases per day in the coming weeks, I'll start leaving the house a lot less...
