8 life hacks for quarantine and combating coronavirus

1. If you have to communicate a lot with people or you are caring for someone, then an impromptu protection made of transparent plastic can help you. It will protect against biological fluids if someone sneezes nearby. In addition, a homemade mask will not allow you to touch your own face again. However, you should not consider the accessory as the only way of protection - for this, they are better suited masks and respirators.

2. In order not to get infected by contact with the buttons in the elevator, you can use toothpicks to press. The main thing is to dispose of them later.

3. If you have to use toggle switches, you can use a paper clip to contact them.

4. In order not to touch the door handles, you can install an automatic opening mechanism with special buttons that can be conveniently pressed with your elbow or foot.

5. A more budgetary option is a regular hold that allows you to open the door with your foot. True, this life hack is only suitable for doors without latches and locks.

6. As a last resort, you can use other items that exclude direct contact with the handle. For example, a toilet paper sleeve will do.

7. By the way, if you run out of toilet paper, then paper towels can replace it, but you need to use them wisely. For maximum economy and convenience, one roll should be cut into three pieces. This can be done with a knife or even a hacksaw.

8. In general, the main quarantine life hack is a hygienic shower in the toilet, which will allow you to completely forget about toilet paper.
