Coronavirus: Dos and don’ts to contain the spread of Covid-19

Hindustan Times  

The deadly coronavirus has spread rapidly across the globe and has infected more than 80,000 people in 60 countries. The coronavirus family of viruses includes the common cold and more serious diseases such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. Statistics from China indicate that about two per cent of people infected with the new virus have died, suggesting it may be deadlier than seasonal flu but less deadly than SARS, which killed about 10 per cent of infected individuals. Here are the dos and don’ts or keeping the disease at bay: Dos: Good personal hygiene is a must if Covid-19 spread has to be contained Practice frequent hand washing with soap Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing Wear a mask if you have respiratory symptoms such as cough or running nose Don’ts: Avoid travelling if sick Don’t travel to China if not essential: The government has also advised Indians to avoid all non-essential travel to countries affected by Covid-19. Close contact with people who are unwell or showing symptoms of illness should be avoided Don’t consume raw/undercooked meat and avoid contact with live animals
