How to keep yourself safe from new virus?
After a new-type coronavirus (冠状病毒) was detected in Central China's Wuhan city a month ago, more cases have been reported in recent days. To prevent catching the infection, here's what you can do.
Wearing a mask is one of the most effective ways to protect you from getting infected. Make sure to wear it properly by tightening the nose clip and pulling the bottom of it over your chin.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or you can cough or sneeze into your sleeve, but avoid covering with your hands directly.
Wash your hands with soap and running water thoroughly for at least15 seconds. Before eating, after using the toilet, after returning home, after touching trash and after contacting with animals or handling animal wastes, you must wash your hands.
Exercise regularly is one of the most important ways to help you stay away from catching any infections. Make sure that shared spaces have good air flow and avoid going to crowded places such as hospitals, railway stations and airports.
Seek prompt medical attention if you have symptoms of fever and respiratory infection. Avoid close contact with people who have flu or cold-like symptoms.
