in order to make each and every one cautious for prevention here are some points below.
Prevention suggestions include good hygiene, such as washing hands when appropriate, avoiding touching the eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands, coughing/sneezing into a tissue and putting the tissue directly into a dustbin and (for those who may already have the infection) wearing a surgical mask in public.[199][200][201] Social distancing measures are also recommended to prevent transmission.[202][203]
Many governments advise against all non-essential travel to countries and areas affected by the outbreak.[204] China has banned the trading and consumption of wild animals.[205]
For health care providers taking care of someone who may be infected standard precautions, contact precautions and airborne precautions with eye protection are recommended.[206]
Contact tracing is an important method for health authorities to determine the source of an infection and to prevent further transmission.[207]
Misconceptions are circulating about how to prevent infection: rinsing the nose, gargling with mouthwash and eating garlic are not effective.[208]
Handwashing
Handwashing is recommended to prevent the spread of the disease. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the toilet or when hands are visibly dirty; before eating; and after blowing one's nose, coughing, or sneezing. It further recommended using an alcohol-based hand sanitiser with at least 60% alcohol by volume when soap and water are not readily available. The WHO also advises people to avoid touching the eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
Social distancing
Main article: Social distancing
Social distancing includes infection control actions intended to slow the spread of disease by minimising close contact between individuals. Methods include quarantines, travel restrictions, and closing schools, workplaces, stadiums, theatres, or shopping centres. Individuals may also apply social distancing methods by staying at home, limiting travel, avoiding crowded areas, not shaking hands, and physically distancing themselves from others.Many governments are now mandating or recommending social distancing in regions affected by the outbreak.
Older adults and those with serious chronic conditions face increased risk of serious illness and complications and have been advised by the US CDC to avoi crowds and stay home as much as possible in areas of community outbreak.
