Pandemic
Do now
- If someone in the household falls ill, set up the sick room straight away.
- Assign one caregiver only. Both of you mask up.
- Give the sick room its own dishes and a bucket toilet.
- Treat the doorway as the airlock: mask on before you go in, only take it off once you are back out.
Then
- Wear FFP2 or FFP3 respirator masks and gloves for any contact with the sick, or with anyone outside the household.
- Dilute bleach 1 part to 50 for surfaces.
Never
- Never go out to shop once things peak. The 3-month pantry means you do not have to.
- Never let the sick room share dishes, cups or the toilet with the rest of the household.
