To stay safe, you will need to do these things especially:
- Always carry tissues with you, and use them to catch your cough and sneeze
- Bin the tissue, then to kill the germs, wash your hands with soap and water, or use sanitiser gel
- If you have arrived back from China within 14 days follow the specific advice for returning travellers
- Wipe down all surfaces with anti-bacterial or obtain a professional clean from a company
This is the best way to slow down the spread of almost any germs, including coronavirus. Especially as there is no known vaccine for the disease yet, it is very important that it is shut down quickly and not spread around.
