The coronavirus isn't spread through the air. It is spread through droplets expelled through coughs or sneezes from infected persons. The droplets stay suspended in the air for a short time and settle on surfaces like tables, door handles etc.
YOU CAN GET INFECTED IF...
1. You are in close contact with person who coughs or sneezes in your face
2. If you touch a contaminated surface or an infected person's contaminated hands and touch your face (mouth, nose, eyes) with your unwashed hands.
STAY SAFE
Wash your hands with soap and water frequently for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 70% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
Do not touch your face with unwashed hands
Stay at least 1.8m away from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
No hand shaking!

How Facebook Founder Zuckerberg Is Responding To Coronavirus (VIDEO)
Information from Stanford Hospital Board
Hello,
Here is some of the clearest most useful information on prevention, from the Stanford Hospital Board. From a member of the Stanford Hospital board. This is their feedback for now on Coronavirus:
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - CORONAVIRUS –
1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold.
2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.
3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees Celsius. It hates the Sun.
4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.
6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. Normal laundry detergent will kill it.
7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.
8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.
9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.
10. Can't emphasize enough - drink plenty of water!
THE SYMPTOMS
1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days.
2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.
3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.
4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.
ADDITIONAL ADVICE
Serious excellent advice by Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases:
Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat are moist, never dry.
Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least.
