Eight personal protective measures: 

First, maintain good personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, drink more water, and change and wash clothes frequently. Wash hands after coming back home, before eating meals and after using the toilet; hands must be washed or disinfected with hand disinfectant after touching articles that may be contaminated. 

Second, wear a face mask when going out, getting into an elevator, taking public transportation, or in other closed environments. 

Third, keep the living environment clean. It is recommended to ventilate 2-3 times a day for more than 30 minutes each time while keeping yourself warm during ventilation. 

Fourth, avoid the peak time for meals in public places and reduce close contact with others. 

Fifth, wear a mask when receiving visitors. Avoid shaking hands, giving hugs, and maintain a distance of more than one meter. 

Sixth, avoid dinner parties and activities in crowded public places, especially places with poor air flow, such as theaters, bars, internet cafes, shopping malls, stations, docks, exhibition halls, museums, public baths, hot springs, etc. 

Seventh, avoid spitting anywhere, use elbows or paper towels to cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing. Avoid touching your mouth, nose and eyes with hands. Wrap nasal and oral secretions or spits with paper towels and dispose of them in covered dustbins. 

Eighth, if you share a room with others or live in other people’s home, you need to observe whether the relevant personnel are running a fever, receiving medical treatment or having other abnormal conditions.

If you have a fever, dry cough and other symptoms, please stop working or studying immediately. You should wear a mask, seek medical treatment at the nearest medical institution, and inform the medical personnel of your relevant contact history. During the treatment, avoid touching articles in the clinic, and avoid subconsciously touching your mouth, nose and eyes.
