According to doctor Truong Huu Khanh, when your job requires you to come into contact with strangers, you must definitely wear a mask when working. Especially to wear a mask in the RIGHT way.
When announcing basic preventive measures for Covid-19 for individuals, the World Health Organization (WHO) once affirmed that people need to avoid crowded places or areas that are easy to come into contact with infected people. At the same time, maintain a distance of at least 1 meter between you and others, especially those with symptoms of coughing, sneezing and fever.
However, for people who work in business, hotel receptionists, tour guides ... and many other service professions, it is difficult to comply with this principle because they have to contact and interact with each other every day. Communicating close to a lot of people, disease prevention also becomes more difficult.
Facing that concern, recently, Dr. Truong Huu Khanh (Head of Infectious Diseases - Internal Neurology, Children's Hospital 1, Ho Chi Minh City) shared important principles to prevent Covid-19 if daily you forced to interact with many strangers.
