14 Tips To Protect Against Corona Virus (COVID-19)

*Do not use strong detergents to wash your hands to avoid causing you contact allergies.

2)Wear face mask regularly.

*Face mask prevents the spread of the virus droplets from the infected person when coughs, talks or sneezes.

*But because an asymptomatic carrier can spread it and because nobody knows who is the carrier yet unless tested, it is advisable that you act as if you're infected by wearing face mask regularly. This will help to curb the viral spread.
