Maintaining Good Hygiene and Health Habits

Maintaining Good Hygiene and Health Habits

During the outbreak of the COVID-19, while taking good protective measures, maintaining good hygiene and health habits can effectively reduce the risk of infection. On January 27, the NHC released a Guidebook on Public Prevention of Novel Coronavirus-infected Pneumonia, which suggested the following ways to maintain good hygiene and health habits:

* Frequently open the windows of your house for better ventilation; 

* Do not share towels with your family members;

* Keep your home and tableware clean; 

* Sun-cure your clothes and quilts often; 

* Do not spit; 

* Wrap your oral and nasal secretion with tissue and throw it in a covered dustbin; 

* Balance your nutrition and exercise moderately; 

* Do not touch, buy and eat wild animals (gamey), and avoid visiting the market that sells live animals (poultry, seafood and wild animals); 

* Have thermometer, surgical or N95 masks, and domestic disinfectants at home.
