Is The Right Thing to Do?
So sharing snacks and using other people’s glasses is ok then? As long as you are 2 meters apart. This isn’t genius one bit 😂

While the neighbours were praised for their efforts to come together while putting in efforts to set a table using the fence, they seemed to have failed at doing it in the right way. We would advise everyone to avoid physical contact as much as possible along with sanitising things before using it. If not the virus can also spread through cross-contamination, hence it is advisable to take utmost care during these tough times.
