During day-to-day activities, people can take the following measures to prevent infection, in accordance with World Health Organization guidelines:
The American Red Cross also advise against touching the mouth, nose, or eyes when out and about, before having a chance to wash the hands.
Also, the CDC recommends getting the flu shot to prevent other seasonal respiratory infections.
The Center for Disease Control CDC recommends that all people wear cloth face masks in public places where it is difficult to maintain a 6-foot (2-meter) distance from others. This will help slow the spread of the virus from asymptomatic people and people who do not know that they have contracted it. People should wear cloth face masks while continuing to practice physical distancing. Instructions for making masks at home are available here. Note: It is critical that surgical masks and N95 respirators are reserved for healthcare workers.
