Always wear a mask regardless of your showing any symptoms or not
Wash your hands properly and frequently, apply and rub alcohol hand-sanitizer* on to your hands and between fingers (*in the case of its being difficult to find hand-sanitizer, use hand soap and wash hands under running water instead,) and ventilate the room well and frequently.
In case of having a fever, contact your family doctor as soon as you find out and stay behind at home
Please note that all precautions should be taken as if to prevent other infectious diseases such as common cold and influenza.
Also, since there is the significant number of transmission cases by people, who have no symptoms shown, has been reported, these asymptomatic/pre-symptomatic coronavirus carriers are most likely contributing to the rapid spread of the coronavirus. Therefore, changing the way of your thinking must be done, and you should think that you are one of these asymptomatic/pre-symptomatic coronavirus carriers and consider what each one of you should or should not do in your daily life to prevent from transmitting the virus you might carry to the others around you. This should be considered as “the new normal.”
