When coughing, it is important to take certain precautions to ensure that the virus is not spread to others. Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth, as this can transfer the virus from your hands to your body. Additionally, try to keep a distance of at least six feet from other people, as this will help to reduce the spread of the virus. It is also important to cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing, either by using a tissue or by coughing into the inside of your elbow. Finally, make sure to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, after coughing or sneezing.
