Not right now tough. We Indians are known for our hospitality and have always welcomed guests open-heartedly but considering the current situation, it is better for everyone to avoid visiting anyone and welcoming anyone in your house. Furniture is the first contact when you welcome guests and in these tough times, it is better if you have to be a bit harsh to ensure your safety. You can maintain your hygiene but you never know what the other person brings in. So in simple words avoid guests.
- Don’t throw away your dirty laundry on sofa, bed or any other home furniture:
You may be a careless person who likes throwing away the dirty laundry anywhere you find fit be it your sofa, bed, carpet, etc just so that your mom and/or wife does the rest of the job. But it’s time that you take responsibility and keep the home furniture and home interiors away from dirty laundry by avoiding littering. Keep a separate bag or bucket for your dirty laundry.
Conclusion:
The Indian government is taking measures to prevent the outbreak of COVID-19 but the government alone can’t do anything. As responsible citizens of this great land, it is our responsibility to play our part and in doing so the first and very basic step starts with keeping ourselves and our homes free from the virus by maintaining hygiene.
