How to best protect yourself from getting the novel coronavirus:
- Frequently wash your hands with soap or use hand sanitizers.
- Avoid touching your face, particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth because one way viruses spread is when you touch your own mouth, nose or eyes.
- Cough or sneeze into a tissue, sleeve, or arm. Do not use your hands.
- Clean frequently touched surfaces such as phones, tablets, light switches, counter-tops and doorknobs​.
- Keep away from others who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
