如何避免自己感染冠狀病毒？
The coronaviruses typically cause respiratory symptoms. So we recommend a basic hand hygiene, such as washing your hands with soap and water, and respiratory hygiene, such as when you sneeze, sneezing into your elbow.
冠狀病毒通常會引起呼吸道癥狀。因此，我們建議要保持基本的手衛生，比如用肥皂和水洗手。還要注意呼吸道衛生，比如打噴嚏時，曲肘遮住口鼻。
Ways to protect yourself against a potential animal source would be to avoid unnecessary, unprotected contact with live animals and to make sure that you wash your hands thoroughly after contact with an animal, and also to make sure that your meat is cooked thoroughly before consuming.
保護自己免于動物來源感染的方式包括：避免在未加防護的情況下與活的動物有不必要的接觸；要確保接觸動物后徹底洗手；還要確保肉食全做熟后才能食用。
