Avoid touching your face [Coronavirus Crisis]

Two of the best things you can do to prevent illness is to wash your hands often and don't touch your face. But avoiding touching your face can be really hard. Dr. Purvi Parikh, an immunologist at NYU Langone Health, says wash your hands with soap and water and rub them for at least 20 seconds. If you don't have soap and water, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. And unless you're sick, do not wear a mask. In fact, you could be making it worse for yourself by implanting germs on your face. Reported by Linda Schmidt
