wash your hands often with soap and water very often at least for 20 to 30 seconds especially after you have been in a public place or after blowing nose, coughing or sneezing.

Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.

washing your hands can clean the surface/skin of your hands which may be carrying the virus.

2. Kindly avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

Hands touch many places around us and it is highly possible that they may caught virus and when we touch eyes, nose, or mouth then virus can transfer from hands to eyes, nose and mouth and then the virus cam enter our body and can make us sick.

3. Maintain Social Distancing

Avoid close contact with people with other people. Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing or who is sick.

the reason behind this is when someone cough or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets form their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close to the person who is cough or sneezing then you may breathe in the small droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person has the disease.
