The Wuhan coronavirus is not only spreading in China, but has also been found in several countries around the world, although no positive cases have been identified in India. Given travel restrictions in certain locations and growing panic, the main question everyone seems to be asking is how the virus cannot be transmitted. Remember that no vaccine is available yet.
Symptoms usually include a runny nose, sore throat, headache, and fever. Although these are the typical flu symptoms that go away within a few days, the coronavirus can cause respiratory problems, making it particularly deadly for people with a weak immune system, such as the elderly and children.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), avoiding close contact with people with acute respiratory symptoms is one of the most basic measures we can currently take. In addition, other simple measures can protect you, especially if you want to travel at this time. continue reading

* If you need to leave the security of your home to enter public areas, wear gloves or mittens and keep them at all times, especially on buses.
* If you need to take off your gloves to shake someone's hand, remember to keep your hand away from your eyes, nose, and mouth, even if itches. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before putting the gloves back on.
* Do not repeat your gloves. Exchange them and wash them daily. And never wear wet gloves.

In addition, wearing the same mask every day is a big no since the contents of your mouth and nose can attract bacteria. If you don't want to wear masks, stay away from crowded places and keep a personal space for interacting with someone. If someone sneezes or coughs in your presence, go away immediately. Also avoid hugging yourself.
* Replace old towels at home with clean and washed ones. And don't share your towel with anyone. Wash the towels at least twice a week and do not use them wet.
