1. Practice good hand hygiene.
It sounds simple, but it’s true: good hand hygiene helps prevent the transmission of a virus from one person to another.
Too often, people only wash their hands when they’re visibly soiled. However, viruses and bacteria are microscopic, meaning they can be present even if your skin looks clean.
Washing your hands frequently is a great way to avoid a variety of illnesses, not just coronavirus.
To keep your hands clean, wash them thoroughly using soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Hand-washing frequency will vary from person to person, but it’s always a good idea to wash your hands before eating, after using the bathroom, and after sneezing or coughing. 2. Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hand.
Covering a cough or sneeze may seem like something that should be done simply out of good manners, but it goes a bit beyond that — you should avoid coughing or sneezing into your hand whenever possible.
When you cough or sneeze into your hand, you have the potential of transferring bacteria or viruses onto that hand; those bacteria and viruses can then be spread to other surfaces you touch.
Instead, try to cough or sneeze into a tissue. If a tissue isn’t available, try to cover your cough or sneeze using your elbow/upper arm.
While these methods may not be perfect, they can help prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. After coughing or sneezing into a tissue, throw the tissue away.
Be sure to wash your hands after a cough or sneeze as well!
3. Stay home if you are sick.
While it’s admirable to be dedicated to your job or to your studies, it’s not a good idea to go into work or school if you’re sick.
You may think you can power through the day, but you run the risk of infecting those around you!
If you’re not feeling well, stay home and let yourself recover. If you have to go out in public, try to wear a face mask to avoid infecting others.
If you’re a parent and your child isn’t feeling well, it’s best to keep him or her home from school. After all, illnesses can spread rapidly in school settings, and you don’t want your child to get his or her classmates sick.
Everyone’s had that familiar feeling of “oh, I probably could have gone in today!” But when you’re sick, it’s better to be safe than sorry — your boss or your teacher will thank you for keeping those germs at home!
4. Consider alternatives to shaking hands.
Extending a handshake is a common greeting or sign of respect, whether closing a business deal or meeting someone for the first time.
However, as discussed above, your hands can carry bacteria and viruses. This means that shaking someone’s hand comes with the risk of passing bacteria or viruses on to that person, or vice versa.
Because it’s a respiratory ailment, COVID-19 is spread by droplets expelled from the respiratory system by a sneeze or cough. However, if an infected person coughs or sneezes into his or her hand, there’s a possibility of transmission through hand-to-hand contact as well.
In a perfect world where everyone observed the rules of good hand hygiene, shaking hands wouldn’t be as much of a concern. However, we all know that many people aren’t exactly diligent about monitoring their hand hygiene.
In the interest of being careful, it’s not a bad idea to cut back on handshakes and consider some alternatives for the time being.
This is a relevant adjustment during standard cold and flu season too, not just with COVID-19.
Something like an “air five,” a quick wave, or a nod can be a good substitute for a handshake. If you’re afraid you might seem rude by declining a handshake, there’s no harm in explaining why.
If you do end up in a situation where you’re shaking hands with a number of people, it’s always a good idea to wash your hands afterwards.
