As the coronavirus epidemic continues to spread around the world and there are many rumors of (questionable) means to counter it, simple everyday actions can limit its spread.

As with some other illnesses, you just need to think about coughing and sneezing in your elbow, for example, to minimize contamination between people. We will also refrain from greeting friends and colleagues with handshakes and other hugs. As recalled on the government information site about Covid-2019, it is the man carrying the virus who is circulating, and not the virus by itself.

The mask, on the other hand, is only useful under certain conditions, and it is not useful to wear it if you do not have particular symptoms or if you do not return from one of the foci of the epidemic .
