Keeping Omicron at bay

STAYING SAFE

As the world grapples with another surge in COVID-19 cases, we are once again compelled to be extra vigilant. The ultra-transmissible Omicron variant seems to be on a spree and it certainly feels like it is literally lurking outside your home, waiting to jump on you.

Even if it looks like there’s no escaping this variant (is there anybody out there who does not have family or friends who are not in isolation at this moment?), we need to be proactive in keeping ourselves and our loved ones safe. We have been living in this pandemic for the past two years and that means we are already familiar with the dos and don’ts on how to help keep this dreaded virus out of our homes.

Here are some home essentials you might want to consider when reinforcing your spaces vs COVID-19.
1 Electric fans Health experts have always stressed the importance of keeping indoor spaces well-ventilated. That’s because enclosed, poorly ventilated rooms only enable the aerosols that carry the virus to drift in the air for a longer period of time.

Whether you are in need of ceiling fans to improve the air quality in your space, want a durable industrial-type wall fan, or looking to replace your decades old stand fans, trust the country’s one-stop shop for home improvement needs to have just what you need.

2 Floor mats We shouldn’t take any chances when it comes to the possibility of bringing the virus home. Disinfect your footwear each time you come home from work or running essential errands.
