1. Washing their hands
Everyone should wash their hands properly, including and especially doctors and those who are more exposed to this infectious disease. “It’s the number one precaution,” says Natasha Bhuyan, MD, family practice physician with One Medical in Phoenix, Arizona.
“That means soap and water for 20 seconds and getting underneath the fingernails and the backs of your hands. All my cuticles are dry and cracked,” she adds. If you don’t have access to water and soap, you can use an alcohol-based sanitizer.
