A Quick Travel to the Grocery Store: Spooky!?!

To grab the chance some goods in a grocery store, I walked alone on the road. It' was a nice day to hike yesterday morning. Of course, I had to gear up myself with the face mask. I must admit it's difficult to breathe with this on my face. No choice not to use it. Do you need a pass certificate to go out from your house?

We can go out when we need to but I have not been out for a long time now. I see the same people passing by every day for walks and other walking dogs and no one is wearing a mask.

Wearing mask has been made compulsory in our state, Bengal.

No, we do not have to use a pass to go out. Hope it doesn't come to that here.

I find it a bit organized with the pass certificate thing. It can control people not to go out often.

No, we do not need a pass certificate, we have to stay in our area, our ID clearly states where we live, no need to ask for a certificate.

I also think that ID is fine. However, the government wanted to control people who are going out in my country. It needs one member per household. Basically, this is a certificate that can use by one member only.

@LadyDuck Oh, my. It needs to do it in my country. Last week, people near Manila had a big event and COVID-19 cases increased because lots of them got infected.

@Shavkat They are not obliging people to stay at home here now. They suggest to stay at home, but it is not forbidden to go out. One person only to buy grocery.

They say that it is not easy to breath with the mask on, but I haven't tested that out yet. Good to find out from reading your post.

There is a feeling of scared. lol Because I can still breathe through this facial mask. What if the coronavirus suddenly entered to my respiratory system? I am getting paranoid.lol

@YrNemo I agree. I cannot even look at the people in their eyes. I don't want to talk to them in the public.

@Shavkat I think many of us are acting the same. Better safe than sorry I think. (I will choose to be on the side of being paranoid during this covid-19

.)

@Lavanya15 I am not also sure if the lockdown will be lifted this month. Things are really changing fast because of this coronavirus.

No, we don't need passes to go out of the house, although all "essential" employees did receive a letter to carry in their vehicles or on their persons in case they are questioned, but it doesn't sound like any law enforcement is enforcing that. Is that image of your neighborhood? So beautiful! Hope you remain safe.

I agree you can't breathe normally with facemask on. I don't go out except for a walk near by and I don't need any permission for that.

That's a good thing. You can walk around without any limitations. I sometimes feel in doubt with the face mask since we can still breath when using it.

Grocery is taken care of but I have some personal chores to do. This mobile phone has run out of balance. I must recharge it today but can't go out.

If online shopping is a good choice, I will do it. However, online food shopping is not a popular here in my country.

Here we need a pass to show that we belong to essential services and can be out. For us, we are getting our food and other supplies delivered and so no need to step out. Also these food vendors and milk vendors are given passes and are allowed in resident complexes for few hours each day. Social distancing is maintained when we go to buy things.
