An expert warned that the coronavirus crisis is only “at the beginning” — but people can help protect themselves with one simple step.
As the World Health Organization mulls whether to label the widening coronavirus outbreak a global public health emergency, an expert warned that the crisis is only “at the beginning” — but people can help protect themselves with one simple step.
“One of the smart ways to approach thinking about ‘how do you protect yourself,’ is to ask, well, when somebody here in the office has a common cold, and they’re sneezing all over the place, how do you make yourself not get the cold?” asked Garrett, the author of “The Coming Plague,” a book about emerging deadly diseases.
“Here, in New York City, we think about the subways, we think about how we move around in the city; the answer, if you’re nervous, is wear gloves. Then take your gloves and wash them at night,” Garrett said. “If it’s socially required to shake hands, wash your hands afterwards.” “What we haven’t seen a lot of secondary transmission outside of China, except in Hong Kong. We have five cases in the United States that we know of, but they’ve not given it to someone else,” Garrett told Yahoo Finance.
Garrett said that “...unlike SARS, which only is contagious when you have a fever, this one seems to be contagious when you don’t even know that you’ve been infected, and the incubation time is much longer.”
