In this two-part episode, we do a deep dive into the evidence-based do’s and don’t’s for being safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Part 1 focuses on hygiene and infection prevention, and part 2 focuses on behaviors and best practices.

In Part 2, we discuss general considerations for making decisions about potentially risky activities. We discuss restaurant dining and other indoor activities, school attendance, and highlight demographic differences in disease transmission between children and adults, with data presented from key case studies. We also touch on travel considerations, presenting case studies about air travel and transmission, and wrap up with a short discussion on patient infectivity and factors to consider when emerging from quarantine.
