The holiday season is still on and New Year is fast approaching, which means even more celebrations are in store. However, we should not forget that the pandemic isn’t over yet. It has been almost two years into the coronavirus pandemic, cases are again surging in some parts of the world and more transmissible variants are becoming dominant. So, it is very important to be vaccinated as soon as you can and to continue following Covid-19 protocols in order to avoid getting affected. If you plan to spend with family and friends or travel over the holidays, it is even more important for you to take appropriate protection. Vaccination along with protective measures is essential to prevent the virus’s spread and reducing its ability to mutate into more dangerous variants.

Here are a few health tips to spend your New Year’s eve in a safe manner

1. Get vaccinated

Vaccines are extremely important and they are now easily available as well. Those at higher risk of infection with comorbidities, people aged over 60 years, pregnant women, and people with underlying conditions like high blood pressure, lung and heart disease, diabetes, obesity or cancer, should definitely get vaccinated as soon as they can.

2. Mask up

Wear a properly fitted mask and it should cover your nose and mouth correctly. Masks help stop people from spreading the virus or being infected when droplets containing the virus are inhaled or come directly into contact with the eyes, nose or mouth. Store the mask in a clean bag when you take off your mask and avoid masks with valves.

3. Maintain physical distancing

A physical distance of at least 1 meter should be maintained from other people, even if they are healthy. Whether you are New Year or some other special event this holiday season, keep smaller gatherings in spaces that allow you to keep physical distancing. Given the current situation, the safest choice may be to celebrate only with your family at home.

4. Buy a health insurance

A health insurance is one of the most dependable and important things when it comes to health emergencies. This pandemic has also made it clear that health emergencies come announced and they can be financially burdening as well. So, to be prepared for any kind of unforeseen emergencies, it is important to get the best health insurance that is available to you.

5. Keep a watch on hygiene

Clean your hands frequently with soap and water, or alcohol-based sanitizer. There are chances that you may come in contact with the virus by touching surfaces that have been contaminated, then touching your eyes, nose or mouth with those hands. Cleaning your hands frequently eliminates germs that may be on your hands, including viruses. Proper hand hygiene helps prevent many diseases.

6. Host/attend virtual parties

Even though small gatherings and intimate parties have started, it is advisable to avoid crowded places. Instead host and attend virtual parties, and by now we all are familiar and comfortable with the concept.

Conclusion

It is the year end and New Year just round the corner, there is reason to be excited. However, everyone needs to be cautious as well because the coronavirus variant Omicron is spreading fast worldwide. You need not just follow basic and important Covid-19 protocols, but having the best health insurance policy is also essential. Hence, if you haven’t bought a health insurance policy yet, do not wait any longer.
