Most people are being extra vigilant right now because of concerns about the coronavirus. There's also a lot of misinformation, so it is difficult to know what to believe.

Washing your hands frequently and not touching your face seems to be the two things which everyone can agree. It is also important to wash vegetables and fruits after you bring them home from the grocery store.
