To help prevent the spread of the corona virus follow good hygiene.
Wash hands frequently
Washing hands with soap and water or alcohol based hand sanitiser will kill viruses on hands
Avoid touching face if hands not clean
Hands will touch many surfaces and if contaminated it is easy to transfer the virus to eyes, nose and mouth, and consequently enter the body and cause illness
Follow respiratory hygiene
Use a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing. Dispose of the tissue in a bin.
Avoid close contact with people who may be unwell
Maintain a minimum distance of a metre from anyone who is coughing or sneezing to avoid breathing potentially contaminated droplets
This advice is relevant to all viruses such as colds and flu as well as corona virus
