WHO's recommended preventive measures are "hand washing" and "seki etiquette"

Coronaviruses are transmitted by flying such as coughs and sneezes as well as influenza and colds.

WHO recommends preventive measures and measures to prevent the spread of infection, such as ▼ washing hands and ▼ cough etiquette, similar to general infectious disease control.

Hand washing should be done with soap and running water for at least 20 seconds between fingers and claw gaps. If you cannot wash your hands, it is also effective to thoroughly disinfect your hands with a disinfectant such as alcohol.

The virus on the hand comes in through the eyes, mouth, and nose. Do not touch your face until you wash your hands.

Thorough cough etiquette is important for people with symptoms such as coughs and sneezing so as not to spread the infection.

When coughing or sneezing, use a tissue or arm instead of your palm to cover your mouth, immediately discard the used tissue and wash your hands. If you cover your mouth with the palm of your hand, you will get a virus on your hand.

In Japan, the use of masks is common, but it is said that putting on masks correctly is effective in cough etiquette.

In addition, it is said that it is possible to cope with the same preventive measures as influenza, such as avoiding crowds and not going out when the physical condition is bad.

If you have a fever or other symptoms and you suspect that you have been infected with the new coronavirus, do not go to a medical institution but call us in advance.
