Here are Some Simple Recommended Measures to Safeguard yourself

Animals do not spread virus to people – It’s a person to person transmission.
Clean all metallic surfaces very carefully because the virus can remain viable on these for up to 9 days . Take note and be vigilant about touching handrails and door handles etc. unless you’re keeping them clean or wiping them down regularly.
Don’t smoke.
Drink lots of hot liquids: Drink warm water or Coffee, soups, tea – take a sip of warm water every 20 minutes because this keeps your mouth moist and washes any virus that entered your mouth into your stomach where gastric juices will neutralize it before it can get into the lungs.
Eat fruits and vegetables – try to elevate your zinc levels and not just vitamin C levels.
Gargle with an antiseptic in warm water: Vinegar, salt or lemon – everyday if possible.
The virus attaches itself to hair and clothes, any detergent or soap kills it, but you must take a bath or shower when you get in from the street. Avoid sitting down anywhere and go straight to the bathroom or shower. If you cannot wash your clothes daily, hang them in direct sunlight which also neutralizes the virus.
Try to avoid getting the common flu because it will weaken your system and try to avoid eating and drinking cold things.
Wash your hands every 20 minutes using any soap that foams and do it for 20 seconds and wash your hands thoroughly.
If you feel any discomfort in your throat or a sore throat is coming on, attack it immediately using the above methods. The virus enters the system this way and remains for 3 or 4 days within the throat before it passes into the lungs.
