“The persons at work places having high temperature for a long period and coughing frequently should be placed in hospital and should be under doctor’s control”, said assistant professor of Infectious diseases department of Azerbaijani Medical University (AMU) Sadraddin Atakishizade in his statement to APA.

He said in order to prevent ingress of coronavirus in upper respiratory tracts, abundant liquid should be drunken frequently, and the mouth should be rinsed with liquid: “When such viruses enter in digestive system, people get stricken by graver disease. The patients are better to use multi-layer masks because such masks keep out viruses. When a person sneezes he should use handkerchiefs. If you don’t have a handkerchief, then you should fold your arm at an angle of 90 degrees and cover your mouth with the folded part of the arm. It is important to use disinfectant solutions. In premises where sick persons are accommodated, the surfaces should be wiped with disinfectant solutions every 1-2 hours. The viruses can be easily killed with disinfectant solutions”.
