The modern world has to live in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. You can protect your health and the health of others by observing the following rules:
Wash your hands regularly.
Regularly wash your hands with an alcohol-based product or wash them with soap. Why is this needed? If a virus is present on the surface of the hands, then treating the hands with an alcohol-containing product or washing them with soap will kill it.
Keep your distance in public.
Stay at least 1 meter away from people, especially if they have a cough, runny nose, or fever. Why is this needed? Coughing or sneezing, a person with a respiratory infection, such as 2019-nCoV, spreads tiny drops containing the virus around him. If you are too close to such a person, you can get the virus by inhaling air.
Follow Respiratory Hygiene.
When coughing and sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or bend of your elbow; immediately throw the napkin into the garbage container with a lid and treat your hands with an alcohol-containing antiseptic or wash them with soap and water. Why is this needed? Covering the mouth and nose with coughing and sneezing helps prevent the spread of viruses and other pathogens. If you cover your nose and mouth with your hand when coughing or sneezing, germs can fall on your hands, and then on objects or people you touch.
Follow these simple rules and stay healthy.
