According to the ICMR, special care should be taken of corona infected or cured people. Corona patients take special care of cleanliness and take baths every day. Apart from this, make sure to apply masks to dusty areas, wear shoes, clothes covering your hands and feet, and gloves while gardening or working in the soil.
