Answer 1

1. Use of N95 mask when you are outside and in public transports.

2019 - Novel coronavirus is an airborne disease that spreads through droplets. It's very necessary to use masks outside to prevent droplets exposure.

2. Stay away from the affected person and avoid direct contact.

The virus is spread through body fluids and droplets. It's a greater chance that cloths, linens, other things used by patients and surroundings to be infected so keep the distance from the affected person and always use PPE while with the patient.

3. Always wash your hand with soap or alcohol hand rub before eating, if you are in the hospital or working in hospital then follow 5 golden moments of Handwashing.

As I previously mentioned 2019 - Novel coronavirus is also spread through direct contact so, our hand is contaminated while we are with a patient or maybe while we are outside.
