Improve your COVID-19 safety measures with SM

It is very alarming to know that the number of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines is increasing. It is important that we keep ourselves safe and upgrade our safety measures at home and when we go outside to protect ourselves from the threat of the COVID-19 virus.

With that, here are some recommendations and tips from SM Supermalls:

Stay safe at home. During this time of health crisis, it is important for everyone to stay at home as much as possible, and only go outside to buy food and other essential things to help them to keep safe at home. Also, at home, all members of the household must practice the protocols to ensure the safety of everyone in the house: wear masks especially when living with seniors or those who are immunocompromised, wash hands thoroughly and often, and have a sanitation station where everyone can easily access UV, alcohol, disinfectant mat, and hamper to leave used clothes, and other items for cleaning and sanitizing. With this kind of act we can ensure that all of the household members are safe.

You can get all these and more at The SM Store . Stay at home and have these safety essentials delivered to you by placing your orders via Viber, Facebook Messenger or SM’s Call to Deliver hotline #143SM (#14376). Check this link to find out more: https://thesmstore.com/call-to-deliver

Keep yourself protected while outside. When going outside to buy essentials things for your family or going to work, be sure to always follow the safety protocols particularly to wear a face shield and face mask like N95 or KN95. Otherwise, experts also suggest to double mask.

Also, consider carrying a travel pouch with you. It should contain all the safety essentials, such as alcohol or hand sanitizers, cleaning wipes to clean surfaces, and soap. You can now buy handy sanitation tools you can carry with you such as wearable air purifiers, portable UV wands, surgical masks and gloves, if needed.

Practice double masking by putting surgical mask underneath a cloth mask. You can also carry with you a pocket UV-C sterilizer for added protection. Get all these and more at The SM Store

Practice protocols when going back inside the home. With the alarming increase of cases, your chances of having contact with someone infected with COVID while out and about are also increasing.

Before going inside your house, be sure to have a pail with a bleach solution where you can soak the clothes you used. Leave your outdoor shoes outside or have a disinfecting mat to clean the soles of your shoes, and have cleaning wipes ready to wipe everything you touch. Head to Watsons to upgrade your sanitation kit or you can also order online via https://www.watsons.com.ph/

Sanitize your mobile phone and other small personal items by placing them inside UV disinfection bag or use cleaning wipes available at Watsons.

Disinfect deliveries. Make sure to disinfect the things if you’re having your food and other essential items delivered, have the courier leave the items outside your house to be disinfected. Avoid cash on delivery to minimize the contact with the courier.

Be sure to spray or wipe all delivery bags with bleach solution, and wash grocery items. Do not spray on perishable items with cleaning solution as it may be toxic.

Stay healthy. In this time of crisis, everyone’s first line of defense against COVID-19 is staying healthy.

Start by incorporating at least 30 minutes of exercise in your daily routines, and eat a well-balanced diet that consists of fruits and vegetables, along with vitamins and other supplements. Doing these things may help strengthen your immune system to fight off respiratory infections including flu, pneumonia, and even the COVID-19 virus.

You can also get tested at drive-thru collections sites at SM in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross to be sure you are safe and protected.

Boost your immunity by taking vitamins and minerals. Try Watsons’ effervescent tablet which contains Vitamin C, Zinc and Vitamin D or take Watsons’ multivitamins and minerals capsule.
