The fishes have been salted and being sundried. Food preservation is very important during our situation. This is the first time I experienced something like this and I realized learning about preparing for something like this is important.
We have experienced typhoons and the electric supply was cut as well as internet. But this is something else. Any exposure puts you at risk. Going out gets you at risk. The best way to be safe is to stay at home and that means you need to have everything you need at home.
If going out totally cannot be avoided, at least reducing the number of times one go out also lessens the probability of running with a person or surface or item that is infected. This is especially true when there are positive cases in close proximity.
I learn something about being prepared for events like this.

we usually make some food preservation during winters. Like leaf mustard, my mom usually salts them and lets them sundried for about a weeks. Or boiling them and be sundried, then soak them in a bottle with white vinegar.

@Behindtheguitarbar Why dont you think they are healthy. Ah yes because they are not fresh. But I have read that probiotics are being formed with fermentation. But there should be no vinegar, chemicals in salt or it will kill these good bacterias.

Today we did not go out. We have been observing the every other day schedule of staying at home.

At least you will lessen the exposure.

@yoalldudes yes, the every other day of going out cuts to 50% the exposure. And I only stay inside the car. That's 100% for me.
