In the Philippines, stay-at-home orders have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-05-12\/duterte-says-some-philippine-areas-will-remain-under-lockdown\">lifted in some areas<\/a>. However, the places that most of our tutors call home (i.e. Manila, neighboring Laguna province, and Cebu) will remain under quarantine. Ingat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Balkans, Montenegro recently joined the Faroe Islands to become the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/montenegro-declares-itself-first-european-125402388.html\">first European countries<\/a> to be COVID-free. Meanwhile, Serbia has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aa.com.tr\/en\/europe\/covid-19-serbia-lifts-state-of-emergency-curfew\/1831806\">lifted its state of emergency<\/a>. Stores, gyms, restaurants, and shopping centers are <a href=\"https:\/\/rs.usembassy.gov\/serbia-covid-19-information\/\">reopening<\/a> and public gatherings of up to 1,000 people are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizlife.rs\/en\/in-focus\/news-of-the-day\/from-1-june-gathering-of-up-to-1000-people-is-allowed-and-antibody-testing-is-possible\/\">now allowed<\/a>, though social distancing is still strongly advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In North America, the US recently hit a grim milestone of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2020\/05\/27\/860508864\/we-all-feel-at-risk-100-000-people-dead-from-covid-19-in-the-u-s\">100,000 deaths<\/a> while Canada experienced the <a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/6995082\/canada-coronavirus-cases-may-27\/\">highest daily death toll<\/a> in two weeks. However, the curve is <a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/6901193\/flattening-the-curve-coronavirus-comparison-canada-other-countries\/\">flattening<\/a> in both countries.

After some brainstorming, we came up with the idea to raise money to fight COVID-19, and held two donation drives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>For each lesson conducted between April 28 and May 10, Engoo donated 2 Philippine pesos to frontline healthcare workers through <a href=\"https:\/\/iamhope.org.ph\/about-us\">I AM HOPE PH<\/a>.<\/li><li>For each lesson conducted between May 1 and May 10, Engoo donated $0.05 US dollars to Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) \/ Doctors Without Borders to fund MSF\u2019s direct <a href=\"https:\/\/msf-seasia.org\/COVID-19\">COVID-19 response<\/a> and its impact on their ongoing medical projects.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to enthusiastic participation from tutors like yourself, we\u2019re proud to say that we\u2019ve raised $9,044.82 USD for I AM HOPE and $7,369.10 for Doctors Without Borders!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"As_Things_Re-Open\"><\/span>As Things Re-Open<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the world around us begins re-opening, make sure to continue taking precautions like thoroughly washing your hands, wearing masks, and staying (at least) 1.5 meters away from other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/03043716\/reopening-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/03043716\/reopening-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/03043716\/reopening-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/03043716\/reopening-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/03043716\/reopening.png 1051w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, the safest thing to do is to keep staying at home, which we\u2019re all good at. But if we do have to go out, what should we do? Below are some tips from experts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Stay outdoors: If you go to a restaurant, ask to be seated outdoors. If you are meeting friends, try to do so outdoors.<\/li><li>Continue to avoid people indoors: Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Shop during off-peak hours. Use takeout\/takeaway or delivery for food.<\/li><li>If you must be indoors with other people, make sure the space is well-ventilated: If you enter a store and the air feels stuffy, don\u2019t go in. If you\u2019re meeting friends indoors, open the windows.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Stay 1.5 meters apart from people who you do not live with.<\/li><li>Refrain from physical contact and sharing: That means no high-fives, hugs, or handshakes yet! Also, friends who are picnicking together should each bring their own food.<\/li><li>Avoid touching surfaces in public places. Wash and\/or sanitize your hands immediately after touching a surface.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>(Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/family\/archive\/2020\/05\/restaurants-stores-reopen-dos-and-donts\/611314\/\"><em>The Atlantic<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/how-to-commute-go-shopping-and-go-on-vacation-as-states-reopen-for-business-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic-2020-05-07\"><em>Market Watch<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/health\/states-reopening-how-stay-safe-coronavirus-t181299\"><em>Today<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, as the things reopen, it\u2019s easy to get too relaxed, so don\u2019t forget to actively remind people around you to keep up the precautions. According to the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2020\/05\/5-tips-for-safely-reopening-your-office\">Harvard Business Review<\/a><\/em>, we're \"very bad at speaking up\":<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In a recent VitalSmarts study of 1062 respondents, 3 out of 4 admitted to being nervous about infection risk when interacting with others.
