Ideas to Keep You Safe During the Coronavirus Pandemic

I am now finding new ways to do things during the coronavirus pandemic for the simple reason that if my husband gets COVID-19, I am the only person to take care of him and if I get sick, my sweetheart will be the only person who can take care of me.  If we both get sick, then we will both be in big trouble...

So here are some ideas that I have thought about to try and help us not spread the virus to each other.  Some of you may think I am going a little too far, but as they say, in an abundance of caution, I would rather do these things than not do it during the coronavirus pandemic…

• I have added a basket of washcloths in our bathroom so that my husband and I will use a washcloth once and then put it in a container by our trashcan.  I use washcloths instead of hand towels because it takes up less space in the washing machine.  There is a similar basket in my kitchen for our dish towels.
• I have put ties on the refrigerator and freezer door handles.  My husband opens the doors the usual way with the handles and I open the doors with the ties.  
• If we ever go out of the house, we put on our “go out” shoes and then leave them by the door when we return.  We then put on our “stay in” shoes or slippers when we are inside of the house.  
• I wear a mask every time I go outside and put it directly into the washing machine or laundry hamper when I return home.  
• I wear glasses whenever I am awake so that I will not get the coronavirus inadvertently by touching my eyes.
• We use separate toiletries such as our own toothpaste, soap, shampoo, etc.
• At night, I go through the house spraying all of the doorknobs, sinks, toilets, trash cans, laundry hamper, etc. so that we start fresh for the new day.
• We are fortunate to have double sinks in our bathroom, so my husband washes his hands in the left sink and I use the right sink.  
• My husband stays in our bedroom and I am in the guest bedroom.  (Some of you may think this is extreme, though I would rather socially separate myself from my sweetheart for a few weeks than be physically separated from him forever if one of us were to die from the coronavirus...)  

Do you have an idea or ideas that may also help others during this pandemic?  If so, please add it to the comments section.  If you are a seller-author at Teachers Pay Teachers, you may also add a link to one of your products which may help all of the parents who are trying to teach their children now that so many schools are closed.  You may post your ideas in the comments section at my blog at http://www.thebestofteacherentrepreneurs.net/2020/03/ideas-to-keep-you-safe-during.html and/or my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/TheBestOfTeacherEntrepreneurs/photos/a.410587725741700/1925209380946186/?type=3&theater.

Disclaimer:  I am not an expert on the coronavirus, but I would rather tell you all of the ways that I am trying to safeguard my family than not write this post.  I am also allowing others to share the ways that they have changed their habits at home during the pandemic even though they may not be experts in the medical field.  I am just hoping that you may get one or more practical ideas that you may use to stay safe and healthy during the coronavirus pandemic.
