Coronavirus: How should those of us who return home, after leaving it, act in order to feel safe from the coronavirus?

THE Medical Association of Athens issued an announcement with 14 instructions on the prevention and protection measures that we must take against the coronavirus and among them there is one that concerns the way in which we must operate when we return to our home, after every long-hour outing...

And this measure has to do with clothes, underwear and shoes.

So according to the Medical Association of Athens "On returning home we disinfect our hands before entering with a disinfectant tissue or liquid disinfectant. We take off our shoes and underwear and put them on the balcony to air out, wash our hands and face and change underwear. The clothes are left to air for at least half an hour. The same process is repeated every time you leave the house."

What are the remaining 14 ISA guidelines against the coronavirus:

1. In every business there should be a disinfectant package at the entrance.
