How to protect yourself from corona virus?

To avoid corona virus ie 'Kovid 19', you wash your hands regularly with soap and water.

When someone infected with the corona virus coughs or sneezes, very fine particles of his spit are spread in the air. These particles contain viruses of the corona virus.

These viral particles can enter your body by way of breath when approaching an infected person.

If you touch a place where these particles have fallen and then touch your eye, nose or mouth with the same hand, then these particles reach your body.

In this case, using tissue while coughing and sneezing, not touching your face without washing your hands and avoiding contact with an infected person are extremely important to prevent the virus from spreading.

According to medical experts, face masks do not provide effective protection.
