If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid touching frequently used surfaces in public places such as elevator buttons and doorknobs. Furthermore, use a tissue to cover your hand or finger if you have to touch something.
Wash your hands after touching surfaces in public places.

Avoid unnecessary travel.
Take medications and insulin injections at scheduled times and in prescribed doses.
