Once Lockdown measures are eased and people are gradually allowed to move out of their homes what should their strategy be? It is important to understand that the Virus (Covid-19) has not gone away. Until a  viable Vaccine is made available and most of us get vaccinated we will continue to be vulnerable to this threat.  In fact, as the numbers increase our chances of catching an infection increase proportionately. And since a large percentage of affected persons are asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms it is impossible for us to predict who is carrying the disease.
