We share what we should pay attention to when we return home from the workplace or market to protect ourselves from the coronavirus.

• Washing your hands and face with soap and water when you return home will reduce the risk of infection. If possible, taking a shower is important for your and your family's health.
•  After bringing home the packaged products bought from outside and markets, they can be placed in the cabinets after cleaning with soap and water and drying them.

However, after coming from outside, hands should be washed first, then the products you have bought should be cleaned and then hands should be washed again.

Wash At 60 Degrees

• As a precaution for the possibility of the coronavirus contaminating your clothes while you are out of the house on the street, it is sufficient to ventilate your outer clothes outside with a hanger when you return home and to wash the washable ones with laundry detergent at 60 degrees.
• Before putting your shoes next to the other shoes in the shoe rack, it is sufficient to wear gloves and wipe them with a damp cloth with detergent.
• Wipe your mobile phones at least twice a day (maybe at intervals of 3-4 hours) with a refreshing towel.
• The general precautions you should take against coronavirus are as follows:
• Pay attention to your hand hygiene, and wash them often with soap and water. If you have touched various places outside with your hands, do not touch your mouth, nose, or eyes with your hands.

Remember, the transmission of the virus to you from dirty surfaces is only possible if you contaminate your mouth, nose, and eyes. For this reason, the virus cannot make you sick unless you touch your mouth and nose with your hands, even if your head is contaminated while you are on the street.

Stay Away from the Shopping Malls

• Rub your hands occasionally with hand sanitizer or cologne while you are outside.
• Avoid crowded places as much as possible.
• Do not travel by public transport unless absolutely necessary.
• Do not go to places such as shopping malls and cinemas. Do not attend social gatherings. Maintain distance in your social relationships.
• Pay attention to the hygiene rules against infecting other people while coughing and sneezing.
• Cough into disposable tissue paper or napkins and throw them into the trash cans.
• Do not go to hospitals for your non-emergency minor illnesses.
• Symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, and headache are suspicious even for this disease but do not go to hospitals for mild complaints. Follow up yourself at home by avoiding close contact with the household and separating your personal belongings (toothbrush, plate, spoon, towel, etc.).
