the pandemic is changing personal
hygiene in meaningful ways the absolute
first thing you should do before you
enter your house is to take off your
shoes says dr. Roshini Raj but you're
coming into your house perfectly after
cleaning up your shoes if you can leave
them outside that would be ideal what
about the clothes you just worn while
Alice if you are taking public
transportation and you're sitting on a
seat whether it's in a train or subway
this could be a reason why you would
want to when you get home remove your
clothes because they were touching that
seat and wash them immediately wash all
clothing towels and linens regularly on
the warmest setting possible disinfect
your laundry hamper - or place a
removable liner inside it to help it
stay germ-free finally don't shake dirty
laundry to avoid dispersing the virus in
the air you also may want to reserve a
coat for going out don't put it with the
right the rest of your clothes and keep
it a little bit there as for how often
you should shower and wash your hair for
most people who are going out briefly to
get some groceries or get some food it's
not necessary the moment you step back
into your home to wash your hair take a
shower all of those things you shouldn't
however wash your hands very thoroughly
however if you are working going out to
work in an environment where you're
meeting a lot of people certainly if
you're working in any sort of healthcare
facility it would be good idea to take
your clothes or take a shower and here's
a tip from Kate Middleton the future
Queen of England that you probably
didn't think of she's taken off her
sapphire engagement ring which once
belonged to Princess Diana
turns out germs tend to thrive under
rings they like the moisture that builds
up regularly washing your hands is a lot
tougher with rings on your fingers these
are areas that germs can lurk under or
you know between the finger and the ring
so it might be best to avoid wearing
those at this time but if you really
need to wear your ring cleaning them
thoroughly every day is a good idea
