The World Health Organization, or WHO, has the following advice to protect yourself from being infected (感染) with the coronavirus (冠状病毒) or other flu-like diseases.
Wash your hands frequently
Clean your hands often and carefully with an alcohol-based hand cleaner or wash them with soap and water. Washing your hands kills viruses that may be on your hands.
Keep social distancing
Stay at least one meter away from anyone who is coughing or sneezing. When someone coughs or sneezes, they release (排放) small drops of liquid from their nose or mouth which may contain the virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the liquid, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
Your hands touch many surfaces where viruses can survive up to nine days. Once contaminated, hands can carry the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.
Practice respiratory hygiene (呼吸道卫生)
Make sure that you, and the people around you, cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or facial tissue (面巾纸) when you cough or sneeze. Then throw away the used tissue at once.
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early
Stay home if you feel unwell, even with small signs of infection such as headache and slight runny nose, until you recover.
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention, and follow the directions of your local health officer. Calling ahead (朝前地), will allow the health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health place. This will also help to prevent possible spread of the new coronavirus and other viruses.
