Use Cortana to Stay Safe During Coronavirus

Bronze Contributor

Due to Coronavirus and based on recommendations from medical experts, we have to stay at home and do our work at home, do shopping online and stay home as much as we can. However, sometimes we have no choice but live the home and we need to take certain safety consideration like wearing gloves , masks and make sure not touch object and follow social distancing. In such a case, you could get some help from Cortana on your phone and here I would like to share some tips:

 

Send a message or make a call by voice: before leaving home wear headphone and connect it to your phone and when you want to make a call or send a text, don't touch your phone and just say Hey Cortana send text or Hey Cortana call give the name or phone number and communicate with Cortana to make it happen.

 

Ask Cortana to remind you to wash your hands: You could set reminder by location and ask Cortana to remind you that once you arrived home (set your home as location for reminder) to wash your hands for 20 seconds or put your dress in isolated location and do other safety measurements. If you are still have to go to work, you could set your work's location to remind you with additional safety tips.

 

In general, you should use Cortana's reminder to remind you of safety tips and use Cortana voice command to communicate with Cortana using headphone without touching your phone. Do you know any other best practices or safety tips to use Cortana during Coronavirus days?
