Coronavirus: With Code Orange, avoid shaking hands, but no need for those who are well to wear mask, say officials

SINGAPORE - Avoid shaking hands during this period and adopt alternative greetings instead, said the Ministry of Health on Friday following a rise in the Republic's response to the coronavirus outbreak to Code Orange.

In spite of this, however, health authorities say there is still no need for those who are well to wear a mask. Therefore, touching contaminated surfaces and then touching your nose, mouth and eyes could put you at risk of getting infected. MOH has said that, even with community transmission, the most effective method to prevent transmission is through good personal hygiene. This involves regular hand washing with soap and water, and using hand sanitiser when these are unavailable.
