Avoid touching nose, eyes, and mouth
Touching multiple places can pick up the viruses. Once contaminated, they can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. It can spread across the body.
-
Maintain social distance
Maintain a minimum 3 feet distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing. Whenever we cough or sneeze small liquid particles come out of the mouth or nose which may contain the virus. In case you have a cough or cold, cover your mouth while coughing.

If you experience fever, cough or difficulty breathing seek medical help asap
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing then seek medical attention in advance. Stay home if you feel unwell. This will protect you and help prevent the spread of viruses.
Are you at the risk of getting infected?
Being around someone who is suffering from coughing, sneezing and difficulty breathing is not a concern until you are in close contact with them. It takes about 25-27 days to show the symptoms of coronavirus. So stay safe!
