Home caregivers for people with suspected or confirmed COVID 19 should:

Wear a medical mask when in the same room with an ill person. Do not touch the mask or face during use and discard it afterward.

Frequently clean hands with soap and water or alcohol-based rub, especially:

I have a question. Do Facewash and Shampoo help defeat Covid Virus? Like if there is a virus in our face and on hair and we apply facewash on our face and Shampoo on the hair would it kill the virus? I am using Gatsby Clear Whitening foam and Clear Men Hairfall Defense Shampoo.

Good hygiene is a must, so anything that keeps you cleaner is better than nothing. I can only relay to you what the WHO and CDC have said which is:

• Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water
• DON'T touch your face (eyes/nose/mouth) with your hands
• Avoid going outside

*Masks: This is a tricky one, some experts say wear them, some say don't.

*Masks: This is a tricky one, some experts say wear them, some say don't.

What's interesting is that it was mandatory to wear masks in China. Everyone was able to buy 1 disposable surgical mask per day from local shop.
