2. Right sneezing and coughing

If you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief or hold the crook of your arm in front of your mouth and nose. Then wash your hands and do not touch your eyes, nose, or face. Always keep your hands away from your face and avoid touching your mouth, eyes or nose.

3. Keep your distance

Try to reduce your activities in crowded, public places. If this is not possible, then try to keep a distance of at least one meter from other people. Through the droplet infection, the pathogens are released when sneezing, coughing and speaking and can be inhaled by other people or absorbed directly through the mucous membranes. Therefore, make sure you are at a sufficient distance from other people.

4. Strengthening your own immune system

In everyday life, make sure you have a balanced diet, regular exercise and enough sleep to strengthen your immune system.

5. Disinfect your cell phone

Not only your hands, but also your cell phone should be cleaned thoroughly. To do this, clean the outside of the smartphone with a cloth with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol or Clorox disinfectant wipes. A microfiber cloth is best suited for this.

6. Avoid contact with people who have recently traveled to areas at high risk of epidemics

Try to avoid contact with people who have returned from affected corona regions within the past 14 days. Also avoid traveling to the epidemic areas yourself in the near future.

7. Regular ventilation

Ventilate closed rooms at least 3 times a day for 20 to 30 minutes each with the windows wide open.

8. Observe symptoms

Pay attention to certain symptoms such as increased temperature, cough, fatigue, fever and diarrhea. If you have a fever or respiratory infection, contact a doctor immediately.

9. Hygienic food

Make sure that food is handled hygienically. Heat meat to at least 70 ° C and wash off raw vegetables and fruits carefully before eating. Wash your hands before and during food preparation.

10. A clean home

Clean the surfaces in your home, especially in the bathroom and kitchen, regularly with common household cleaners.
