How to protect yourself from coronavirus

Moorcroft also reiterates the CDC's advice for avoiding coronavirus (and other respiratory diseases): 

• Wash your hands with soap or use a hand sanitizer that contains alcohol.
• Sneeze and cough into tissues or the crook of your elbow. If you get snot or spit on your skin, clean it off right away. Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick, especially people exhibiting respiratory symptoms and fever.
• Stay home when you're sick.
• Regularly and thoroughly clean surfaces, such as counter tops and doorknobs, with a disinfectant.
