How can we help prevent the spread of coronavirus?

Practising good hand hygiene and sneeze/cough hygiene is the best defence against most viruses: • wash hands frequently with soap and water, before and after eating, and after going to the toilet • cover coughs and sneezes, dispose of tissues, and use alcohol-based hand sanitiser • and if unwell, avoid contact with others (touching, kissing, hugging, and other intimate contact).
