How to Avoid Getting Contaminated by the Coronavirus Corona Virus can enter the body via the nostrils and the mouth. Someone sneezes, and it gets transported to ventilation shafts and maybe from there straight to your lips and nose. Flushing a toilet can also distribute the virus since it sends water droplets flying in all directions and stool has been indicated as a virus-carrier. This leads to public and private toilet door-handle and sink faucet handles getting contaminated, The hands coming in contact with them then become the transmitters. Washing the hands is no guarantee if you immediately pick it up from a door handle or faucet handles. After all, in order to wash the hands the faucet handle has to be be touched again to shut the water off. The door-handle has to be grabbed to get out. That completely nullifies the hand-washing by recontaminating the hands, if the faucet-handle or doorknob has the virus. Go eat a hamburger or hot dog thinking that your hands are clean, and voila! Another case of Corona virus in the making. This extreme virulence makes frequent hand-washing and keeping the hands away from the face very important in controlling the frequency of outbreaks. But maybe it is a good idea to wash the faucet handle, and grab the toilet doorknob with disposable tissue on the way out. In fact, avoiding public restrooms altogether is a the better idea. But if an emergency strikes, then at least being knowledgeable will give you an edge. True, this might sound a bit paranoid but as they say, better safe than sorry or even dead in this case.
