Because Covid-19 is a new respiratory virus, scientists and governments around the world are trying to work out the best way to fight it. While a vaccine is still under development, authorities have recommended regular and thorough hand washing.
You should also:
- Avoid contact with people who are unwell
- Catch coughs and sneezes with disposable tissue
- Throw away any used tissues and wash your hands
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
Many places are also recommending and implementing social-distancing measures.
