Hi everyone,
During these crazy times of coronavirus, I’ve often been telling people to “take care” or “take care of yourself” or “be safe.” What would I say in Japanese that would be equivalent to that? Maybe “体に気をつけて”? Thanks.

お大事に
That’s what I’d use too!
As I understand it, お大事に might be closer to “get well soon” – i.e., more often said to someone who’s already sick.
One can use お元気で instead to say “take care of your self” (please stay healthy).
No?
I like to use
いっぱい飲んでね。コロナ殺せ!
There are people who aren’t sick?
Would appear that it fits
「お大事に」can be used “preventatively” and is basically a catch-all for health-related well-wishing.
「気を付けて」is used before undertaking a specific action (including routine travel), and is more about taking care around/dealing with external factors.
