That's why it's particularly important to pay attention if someone close to you is symptoms: a high fever, coughing, shortness of breath or loss of taste or smell.

The experts believe that Coronavirus can live on plastic and steel surfaces up to three days (although the amount of viable virus begins to degrade almost immediately). But do not take a chance: Make sure you often wipe these super-touched surfaces.

If you touch items in public, your keys, then your face, you can contract the virus. Wash your hands or use a hand disinfectant at any time you manage. And avoid putting your handbag, your backpack or sports bag on your bed, a sofa or kitchen table (which is a good peak rule to follow during an old cold season and the regular influenza).
