Countries across Asia launched public awareness campaigns, with governments spreading tips on how to keep good hygiene.
In cities like Hong Kong, people have taken to wearing gloves when they go out, and using disinfectant or alcohol wipes to regularly clean surfaces. One common practice is to cover elevator buttons in buildings with a plastic sheet, making it easy to disinfect the surface every few hours. In places where schools have yet to be suspended fully, some schools do daily hand-washings -- all students line up to wash their hands before meals or at the end of the school day. |
