Everyone is also obliged to wash their hands as often as possible or bring a hand sanitizer, because the Covid-19 virus will be easily transmitted to people who neglect cleanliness. When sneezing must also be covered with tissue or handkerchief, at least with the palm of the hand. After that, hurry to clean it with a hand sanitizer.
We are also required to maintain health by eating fresh fruits and vegetables, and drinking water. They can also consume vitamin C and herbal medicine, so that the body becomes more fit.
