    How to protect yourself from coronavirus infection?

    Answer

    The most important thing is to keep hands and surfaces clean. Keep your hands clean, wash them often with soap and water or use a hand sanitizer. Also try not to touch your mouth, nose or eyes with unwashed hands (usually such touches are unconsciously made by us on average 15 times per hour). Carry hand sanitizer with you so you can clean your hands in any setting. Always wash your hands before eating. Be especially careful when you are in crowded places, airports and other public transportation systems. Minimize touching surfaces and objects located in such places as much as possible, do not touch your face. Carry disposable tissues with you and always cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze, be sure to dispose of them after use. Do not eat food from shared containers or utensils if other people have dipped their fingers into them. Avoid greeting handshakes and kisses on the cheek until the epidemiological situation stabilizes. At work, regularly clean surfaces and devices that you touch (computer keyboards, shared office equipment, smartphone screens, remotes, doorknobs, and handrails).
