First, it is necessary to clean your hands using soap and water. Additionally, always bring a facial tissue or a handkerchief to help you avoid touching your face.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will help to prevent the virus from spreading through contact with respiratory secretions. Second, it is important to clean and disinfect surfaces that may be contaminated with the virus. This includes door handles, countertops, toys, and clothing.
