2019-nCoV is a respiratory virus that mainly disperses when in contact with an infected person through droplets produced when an infected person coughs or runny nose. So each person needs to practice good hygiene. For example, paper towels to cover your nose and mouth when coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and then immediately throw paper towels into the trash. It is also necessary to wash your hands often with water and soap or hand sanitizer containing alcohol at concentrations above 60%.
