· Wash hands regularly and thoroughly with soap and water. WHO recommends giving this process 40-60 seconds each time before meals, after traveling on public transport, touching metal handles and handrails, and after shaking hands, which are best avoided during an epidemic.
· Carry with you antiseptic sprays or alcohol solutions to disinfect your hands if you cannot wash them.
· Avoid hand-face contact with unwashed hands if possible.

· Avoid crowded places.
· Do not eat raw food.
· Limit contact with animals if it is not about your pets.
· At the first sign of ARVI, call a doctor and take sick leave.
