No matter how careful you are at the gym by wiping the equipment’s; but, you are not sure about others how mindful they are. So, the best practice is to work out at home or go for a walk.
• Avoid taking the elevators: Be sure not to go on overcrowded lifts as it is the place where you stand close to other people. Make sure to always sanitize your hands after using the lift or elevator.
