What Is the Coronavirus? 10 Things to Know
10. How Can You Keep Yourself Safe from Coronavirus?
Whether there have been reported cases of coronavirus in your area or not, reasonable safety precautions are never a bad idea, especially since regular colds and the flu can still be prevalent during the winter and early spring. You should wash your hands regularly, especially before eating. Avoid sharing food and drinks as well as any personal hygiene items. If you start feeling sick, stay home and schedule an appointment with your doctor if the symptoms persist.
Most importantly, you should avoid travel to infected areas. You should also encourage such mindful measures among friends, family and co-workers so you can all stay as safe and healthy as possible. While the idea of a new disease such as 2019 novel coronavirus can be frightening, keeping yourself safe shouldn’t prevent you from going about your regular routine for the most part. Hopefully with more research better treatment methods or even a cure will be developed.
