• Indossate durante il tragitto sempre la mascherina, in modo da coprire naso e bocca. Una volta indossata, non toccatela più.

• Igienizzate le mani e sostituitela ogni 4 ore, facendo attenzione di manipolarla solo tramite gli elastici laterali. In questo modo eviterete sia di contaminarvi le vie respiratorie con le mani, sia di diffondere l'aerosol creatosi all'interno della mascherina. La mascherina va gettata in sicurezza, possibilmente chiudendola in un sacchetto, ad esempio quelli per le deiezioni dei nostri amici pelosi, prima di gettarle per strada.  

• Evitate di mangiare e bere. Nel caso sia necessario, attenetevi a questi passaggi:
• Scegliete un luogo aperto e distanziatevi da altri eventuali commensali.
• Sfilate la mascherina dagli elastici laterali conservandola in una busta pulita
• Igienizzate le mani per 30 secondi con apposito gel
• Bevete o mangiate e riponete in luogo chiuso resti bottiglie
• Igienizzate le mani, indossate la mascherina. 

• 
  
• 
  
• Attenzione a dove depositate borse e valigie. 
• Dove è possibile, mantenete le borse sulle vostre gambe.

• Come utilizzare il cellulare
• Mantenete la mascherina indossata correttamente
• Utilizzate apposite cuffiette
• Evitate di tenerlo in mano o di toccare continuamente lo schermo per evitare fonte di contaminazione da/per voi stessi

• Camminate mantenendo il distanziamento sociale.

• Se utilizzate i mezzi pubblici, igienizzate le mani correttamente e non portatele mai a contatto di viso, mascherina, occhi, orecchie e capelli
• Evitate di fermarvi a parlare per lungo tempo

• Non fumate
