infection with new coronary pneumonia, most doctors expressed concern about a little less in China was asked if any special precautions had been taken at home to limit the spread of the virus to their families The vast majority of doctors report the use of special precautions to limit the spread of the virus to family members These include washing hands, keeping distance, changing clothes, taking a bath before going home, self-isolation, wearing masks, hygiene supplies, restricting contact, and living separately from family (sleeping) in the current pandemic, when evaluating stress on themselves
