Three necessary steps to take against the coronavirus you never knew.
With so little guidance on what should be done, many people in the world are left to decide for themselves about how to respond to the coronavirus. Below are the three safest ways one can observe to avoid coronavirus pandemic.

Even if people come into contact with the virus, they can avoid becoming infected by washing their hands before touching their face and any part of the body. It helps to ensure germs won’t be transferred to objects or spread from person to person. The sanitizers can help too, and soap is usually more reliable.
- Don’t stockpile masks. The masks are needed for hospital workers and other support staff. Covers are only required if you have a respiratory infection already, and you want to minimize the risk of spread to others. It is also needed if you are caring for someone who is sick or working in a hospital in direct contact with people the virus. Keep your distance. It is not easy to keep distance all through, but try to stay at least six feet away from other people when you are in public. What you should remember is that your hands are brutally efficient disease vectors. As the coronavirus spreads, it’s become a worldwide crisis that could severely strain our health care systems, particularly in developing countries. So we need now to take collective measures to protect ourselves and others.
