The easiest, most efficient yet hardest way to protect yourself is by taking the vaccine that has been created by scientists. Covid vaccines are made available across the country in private as well public health centers for people to go and take. 

They have 2 doses that are to be taken between a certain time period that can be from 26 to 80 days depending on the type of vaccine. Even after being made available, many people are still not able to get slots for getting vaccinated as the number of centers is nothing compared to people willing to take vaccines.

2.          Masks

A mask can indeed save your life. As the 3rd wave comes around the corner, prepare yourself for wearing a mask every time you go out. One has to be careful with the type of mask one wears. 

Double masks are proved to be more efficient than a single as well some masks are better at protection than others.  Therefore using a double mask is the best option.
