The Top COVID Precautions We've Stopped Taking Include Wiping Down Mail and Always Carrying Hand Sanitizer

A lot has changed since the first weeks of the pandemic.

According to a new poll conducted by OnePoll on behalf of American Water, 42% of Americans say the pandemic has turned them into a “germaphobe.” And we now wash our hands an average of nine times a day.

We’ve relaxed about some stuff though. People were asked to name things they did at the start of the pandemic but DON’T do anymore. Here are the top answers . . .

1. Changing your clothes as soon as you get home. Half of people who did it early in the pandemic have stopped.
