Consider the following questions going out:

• Is COVID-19 spreading in my community?
• What are the local orders in my community?
• Will this activity put me in close contact with other people?
• Do I practice everyday preventive actions?
• Do I know what to do if I get sick?

Keep the following tips in mind when going out:

• Limit indoor activities, especially group activities.
• Look for restaurants and bars with outdoor spaces where physical distancing is easier and there is good airflow.
• Have a cloth face mask, tissues and hand sanitizer with you.
• Practice everyday preventive measures such as washing your hands often, mask coughs and sneezes, avoiding close contact and monitoring yourself for symptoms.

Just like the NBA playoffs and finals, try to create a bubble and spend social time with the same group of friends. By doing so, you may reduce your chances of COVID-19, especially if you are all following safety practices such as good hand hygiene, wearing face masks and maintaining physical distance.
