What can I do to prevent myself from getting infected with a contagious virus, such as wearing a face mask or avoiding contact with people who are sick?
user
The most effective way to prevent becoming ill is to practice social distancing and avoid close contact with people who are sick. Additionally, you can wear a face mask if direct contact is unavoidable, or keep a physical distance of at least 6 feet. You should also wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer. It's also important to avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth as much as possible since viruses spread easily in this way.
