Coronavirus Do’s:

1. Remain informed about the current situation of events, along with any advisories or precautionary measures that you may be required to take. The most credible sources for the same include the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC). 
2. Practice good hygiene, especially hand hygiene. Ensure that you wash your hands frequently and nicely, for more than 20 seconds using soap and water. This should be done especially before you eat, after you use the restroom, cough, blow your nose, or come home after being outside. If you cannot wash your hands, you must use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with over 60% alcohol content to clean your hands. 
3. Always cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. The way to sneeze or cough is into your elbow.
4. Work from home, if possible. Leave the comforts of your home only if and when it is absolutely needed, such as for buying essentials like food or medicines. If you do go out, always maintain a 5 to 8 feet distance from people. 
5. Wipe down all the surfaces that you come into contact with, using a regular bleach, or making a cleaning solution with bleach and water. 
6. Do stock food, household products and other essentials in case there is an extension in the lockdown period or social isolation. 
7. Ensure that you are maintaining your immunity, by eating a balanced diet, taking Vitamin C and other supplements and getting enough sleep.

2. Do not go out for social gatherings, meetings, and recreational activities.  
3. Do not Order food from outside, since take out or delivered food may be at a slightly higher risk of being contaminated.
4. Do not touch your face. Medical experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) have, time and again, advised people not to touch their faces, nose and mouth too often. This helps to reduce the chances of contracting the virus. Moreover, keeping your hands clean also reduces any risks of infection.

It is advisable not to go outside or travel without taking any required precautions. 
7. Do not come into close contact with anyone, shake hands or give hugs as a greeting.
