The following are typical World Health Organization recommendations to the public to reduce exposure to the Corona COVID-19 virus, including hand hygiene, respiratory hygiene and safe food practices:
- Always clean hands by rubbing them with an alcohol disinfectant or washing them thoroughly with soap and water
- When coughing and sneezing, be sure to cover your mouth and nose with your folded elbow or a tissue, and dispose of the tissue immediately after that and wash your hands
- Avoid approaching people with fever and coughing
- If you have a fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention early and inform your caregiver of your previous travel
- When visiting live product markets in areas experiencing outbreaks of the emerging coronavirus, avoid direct contact with live animals and surfaces that come into contact with those animals
- Avoid eating raw or undercooked animal products. Raw meat, raw milk or animal organs should be handled with care to avoid the contamination of pollutants from uncooked foods, in accordance with good food safety practices.
