• Wash your Hands often with Soap and Water. (especially small kids)
• Disinfect Hands.
• Avoid touching the Mouth, Nose or Eyes.
• Cover Mouth and Nose and avoid Sneezing and Coughing from others that may have symptoms.

This disease is affecting the human population especially in Mexico. About 100 people now have a scary life in Mexico. You can get vaccinated but it will not help as much. Every second person in Germany has lost the habit of washing his hands, especially small Kids in Primary school. So be careful.
