If you find yourself having to travel, there are a few precautions you can take to fight off the coronavirus.
The World Health Organization issued some recommendations to travelers during this coronavirus outbreak.
They say travelers who are sick should delay travel and everyone should avoid travel to affected areas, particularly, elderly travelers and people with chronic diseases or underlying health conditions.
General recommendations for personal hygiene, cough etiquette, and keeping a distance of at least 3 to 4 feet from persons showing symptoms remain particularly important for all travelers.
These include:
– Perform hand hygiene frequently, particularly after contact with respiratory secretions. Hand hygiene includes either cleaning hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand rub.
Alcohol-based hand rubs are preferred if hands are not visibly soiled; wash hands with soap and water when they are visibly soiled.
– Cover your nose and mouth with a flexed elbow or paper tissue when coughing or sneezing and disposing immediately of the tissue and performing hand hygiene.
– Refrain from touching mouth and nose.
– A medical mask. When wearing mask, it is critical to follow best practices on how to wear, remove and dispose of them, and remember hand hygiene before removing the mask.
As for any travel, travelers are also advised to follow proper food hygiene practices, including the five keys for food safety, as well as recommendations to reduce the risk of transmission of emerging pathogens from animals to human in live markets.
