Unless you’ve been living under a rock without Wi-Fi for the past month you’re aware of the Coronavirus outbreak and the fears of a global pandemic that it’s causing.
The good news is that there are some commonsense measures people can take to avoid becoming infected with the coronavirus or, as it’s also known COVID-19. Like for most colds, these practices include precautions like avoiding large social gatherings, washing your hands regularly, and, of course, not touching your face.
The problem is that, for many people, not touching their faces is easier said than done.
