Prevention from Coronavirus
Wash hands: Develop a habit of washing hands with soap or alcohol-based hand rub at regular intervals.
Social distance: Maintain a distance of at least one metre from infected people or those who have cold or fever. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, he releases small liquid droplets into the air and you may inhale that if you are standing close.
Use hanky or tissue: While in a public place, you should use handkerchief or tissue so that you could cover your nose or mouth if somebody sneezes or coughs. You should also refrain from constantly touching your nose, mouth or eyes.
Go to a doctor: Immediately visit a doctor if you have caught cold or fever. Don’t seek advice from Google or social media.
