This is serious....Everyone has to take precaution even if the disease hasnt spread to your country or state. The fact is, this disease is spreading quickly and the alert has raised to Stage 4. I'm a nurse in training and from what I see, the precautions to take here to prevent this infection from getting into your system is to wash your hands consistantly...most infections begin with soiled hands because everything you touch has germs and we tend to either rub our eyes or put our fingers in our mouth without even noticing and thats how those germs enter your system and into your bloodstream...Also if you do have open wounds, be sure to clean them anyway you can because infections also enter through broken skin.
So again, wash your hands consistantly and keep your hands away from your face or anywhere where germs can enter. Another tip is, your hands  are not fully sanitized until 15 seconds of washing....this is equivalent to the time it takes to sing the ABCs or Happy Birthday.
This is out of our control...all we can do is take these precaution and pray

God Bless you guys,
