The World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the importance of not touching our face, nose, and mouth. This may be the hardest thing to avoid because we subconsciously touch our face, rub our eyes or nose more than 20 times a day. If an infected person sneezes, coughs on a surface, the virus remains viable for a few hours. If we make any contact with that same surface and touch our face afterward, the virus is transmitted through our eyes, nose, and mouth.
