PARKS CAN RESUME BUT YOU GOT TO
RESERVE A CAMPSITE BEFORE YOU
HEAD OUT.
HEAD OUT.
HEAD OUT. OUR 9HEALTH EXPERT DR. PAYAL
KOHLI GIVES US TIPS ON HOW WE
CAN ENJOY THE WARM WEATHER
SAFELY.
SAFELY.
SAFELY. IT IS GREAT THAT CAMPING IS
BACK.
BACK.
BACK. WHAT ARE SOME TIPS TO STAY SAFE
WHILE ENJOYING CAMPING?
>> GOOD MORNING.
I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF
GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE AND
GETTING OUTDOORS.
GETTING OUTDOORS. THE WEATHER IS SO GREAT AND THE
TRANSMISSION OF THE VIRUS IS
SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER IN OPEN
OUTDOOR SPACES AND IT IS
INDOORS.
INDOORS.
INDOORS. CAMPING IS A GREAT THING TO DO.
SOME TIPS I WOULD ADVISE,
FIRST, BOOK IN ADVANCE AND GO
SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO YOUR HOUSE
SO THAT YOU CAN AVOID STOPPING
ALONG THE WAY.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU FILL
UP YOUR CAR WITH ALL THE
SUPPLIES INCLUDING A FULL TANK
OF GAS, HAVING LOTS OF FOOD,
HAVING WATER, HAVING SANITIZER.
ALSO TAKING TRASH BAGS BECAUSE
A LOT OF THE TRASH PICKUP MAYBE
CLOSED.
CLOSED.
CLOSED. DISINFECTANT SPRAYS, FIRST-AID
KITS, AND YOUR PRESCRIPTION
MEDICATION.
MEDICATION. I WOULD RECOMMEND CAMPING IN AN
ISOLATED AREA.
ISOLATED AREA. THE FIRST ADVANTAGE IS THAT YOU
CAN CAMP SAFELY WITHOUT YOUR
MASKS ON IF IT IS JUST YOUR
IMMEDIATE FAMILY.
IMMEDIATE FAMILY. THE SECOND IS THAT OTHER PEOPLE
ARE A LOT LESS LIKELY TO WALK
BY.
BY.
BY. WE
BY. WE HAVE THE TENDENCY WHEN
PEOPLE WALK BY WHEN WE ARE
CAMPING TO CHITCHAT WITH THEM
BUT IN THIS SITUATION IT IS
BETTER TO PUT YOUR MASK ON AND
WAVED TO THEM FROM A DISTANCE
RATHER THAN MAKING
CONVERSATION.
CONVERSATION. >> WHAT IF YOU ARE LIKE ME AND
YOU DON'T CAMP?
WHAT ARE YOUR SUGGESTIONS?
>> THAT IS ME AS WELL.
THERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS YOU
CAN DO.
CAN DO.
CAN DO. THE FIRST IS TO HAVE A SOCIALLY
DISTANT PICNIC.
DISTANT PICNIC. IT IS A GREAT IDEA TO GO OUT
FOR A PICNIC AND ENJOY THE
OUTDOORS BUT IF YOU PULL UP TO
YOUR PICNIC GROUNDS AND THERE
ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE AROUND, TRY
TO FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GO.
THE SECOND IS TO GO ON A BIKE
RIDE OR HIKING IN ISOLATED
AREAS.
AREAS.
AREAS. THE REASON I SAY ISOLATED IS
BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN GET AWAY
WITHOUT WEARING YOUR MASK.
I KNOW IT IS CHALLENGING TO
EXERCISE WITH A MASK ON.
FINALLY, THE EASY OPTION IS TO
HAVE A BACKYARD BARBECUE
BECAUSE THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL
RISK TO YOU LEAVING THE HOUSE
AT THAT POINT.
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING A LOT
ABOUT SWIMMING AS WELL.
THE CDC SAYS THERE IS NO
IMMEDIATE RISK FROM THE WATER
IN THE SWIMMING POOLS.
I DON'T THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA
TO GO SWIMMING UNTIL WE HAVE
MORE INFORMATION.
MORE INFORMATION. >> WHAT ARE SOME OTHER GENERAL
TIPS FOR ACTIVITIES THIS
WEEKEND?
WEEKEND?
WEEKEND? >> ANYTIME WE LEAVE OUR HOUSE,
WE ARE EXPOSING OURSELVES TO
LITTLE MORE RISK. A FEW THINGS
TO KEEP IN MIND.
FIRST IS HANDWASHING.
WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT USING
WATER AND SOAP VERSUS HAND
SANITIZER.
SANITIZER. WHEN WE ARE OUT IT IS EASY TO
USE SANITIZER.
USE SANITIZER. IF YOUR HANDS ARE VISIBLY
SOILED, THE SANITIZER DOES NOT
WORK TO INACTIVATE THE VIRUS.
IF YOU ARE CAMPING IN YOUR
HANDS GET DIRTY, YOU WILL NEED
SOME WATER TO WASH THEM.
TAKE EXTRA WATER TO WASH YOUR
HANDS.
HANDS.
HANDS. THE SECOND IS ABOUT PUBLIC
RESTROOMS.
RESTROOMS. THAT IS A HIGH RISK AREA WHEN
YOU ARE OUT OF THE HOUSE.
THERE IS A STUDY OUT OF CHINA
THAT SAID THAT WHEN YOU PULL
THE FLESH, YOU CAN ERIS ALLIES
FECAL VIRAL PARTICLES INTO THE
AIR UP TO SIX FEET.
YOU WANT TO TRY TO AVOID
CONGREGATING IN PUBLIC
BATHROOMS, AVOID GOING INTO A
STALL AFTER SOMEONE ELSE AND
PUT DOWN BARRIER PROTECTION
SUCH AS TOILET PAPER ON THE
SEAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO SIT
DOWN AND MAKE SURE YOU SANITIZE
YOUR HANDS AFTERWARDS.
FINALLY, THE THIRD AREA OF RISK
IS GAS STATIONS.
ANY TIME YOU STOP AND TOUCH THE
GAS PUMP OR GO INTO THE
CONVENIENCE STORE, THERE IS A
POSSIBILITY OF NOT JUST THE
RISK OF INFECTION FROM SOMEONE
ELSE BUT TOUCHING A
CONTAMINATED SURFACE.
CONTAMINATED SURFACE. OVERALL, MY ADVICE WOULD BE
THAT IT IS SAFER AT HOME BUT AS
WE SHIFT INTO THIS NEW MODEL
WHERE THIS WILL BE OUR LIFE, WE
HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN
LEAVE OUR HOUSE SAFELY AND DO
IT IN WAYS THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN
OVER TIME.
OVER TIME. >>
