Nowadays, a lot of countries are reopening after a long period of lockdown due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
However, the situation is not in a state like it used to be earlier, the threat of COVID 19 still exists out there, and we still need to take precautions like social distancing, self-isolation, and quarantine.
However, with the opening up of businesses and offices, many of us need to travel using our cars.And to safeguard yourself from this Corona Virus, you need to take some precautionary measures:
- Regularly Clean Frequently Touching Surfaces - Some of the parts or surfaces like steering wheel, doorknobs, switches, screens, etc. are required to be cleaned often as there's a high risk of these surfaces carrying corona which can transmit to anyone who touches these surfaces.
- Disinfect the HVAC Unit - HVAC or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning unit circulate air inside the cabin, and there's a risk of it carrying germs. You can clean your AC vents by spattering a specialized cleaner which can be easily found in the local market.
- Clean Your Car Keys - This is the most overlooked safety measure. Car keys get in direct contact with your hand, and sometime you may need to leave your keys with others like parking attendants. Regularly clean your car keys to mitigate the risk of getting a virus..
- Vacuum Clean the Interiors - It is essential to clean the car's cabin once in a while. Cleaning through a portable vacuum cleaner is ideal; however, you can use scrub and disinfectant to wash the carpet, floor mats, seats, gear level, handbrake lever, etc.
And in addition to the above measure, you should always carry a sanitizer, wet wipes, and mask. Also, you should maintain social distancing and avoid unnecessary travelling to keep the virus away.
