We know we will all touch our faces often enough.. Washing our hands we are well aware is the main intervention to prevent infection and spread. I hope Corona virus will end soon. We just need to cooperate and follow the rules and guidelines like social distancing, wearing of face mask and face shield and washing washing hands always. Soon, we'll be back to normal again.
