According to guidelines released by the Center for Disease Control,?haspeoplemakingmemesabouthowthey?kendra wilkinson sex video one of the most effective ways to protect yourself against the novel coronavirus is to avoid touching your face. This is incredibly useful advice — you shouldn't be touching your face anyway — but it's also making people realize just how much they're scratching their noses and grazing their mouths unconsciously.

Of course, keeping your paws off your face is only one recommendation. There are a number of easy, free precautions you can take to protect yourself, like washing your hands frequently and keeping your devices and work surfaces clean.

And if you're in the United States, there's no need to panic. Dr. Purvi Parikh, a clinical assistant professor of pediatric infectious diseases and immunology at NYU Langone Health, told Mashable's Natasha Piñon on Thursday that while "it's good to take precautions," US residents shouldn't freak out just yet.
That doesn't mean you can touch your face, though. Yes, you!
