Explanation:

This statement is trying to tell you that if you take just a little precaution, you can save yourself a whole lot of trouble. Take for example, Corona virus. Although it does not keep you completely safe, wearing a mask when you go out or come in contact with other people is important.

I hope you understand my explanation. Good luck.
