If you are the quarantine tribute of your family, make sure to wear and bring these essential items before going outside your home to prevent COVID-19 infection:

  • Facemask or Face shield. Wear personal protective equipment or PPEs like facemask, face shield, and gloves if available. Also, avoid touching your face.
  • Quarantine Pass. Follow the scheduled time that people are allowed to go outside.
  • Long-sleeve shirts. Wear long-sleeved shirts for less skin exposure.
  • Small bag. For your money, grocery list, and alcohol or hand sanitizer.
  • Long pants. Wear long pants that have many pockets where you can put your cellphone, wallet, and ATM.
  • Reusable bags. Avoid using plastic bags. Remember to disinfect your reusable bags when you get home.

The DENR also reminds everyone to practice physical distancing when shopping for groceries.
