Turkey : What to do when you come home from outside?

– When you return home, washing your hands and face with soap and water will reduce the risk of infection. It is important to take a shower if possible, to protect the health of you and your household.

– No need to wipe with disinfectant after bringing packaged products from outside and markets home. It can be cleaned with water and soap and placed in cabinets after drying. However, after coming from the outside, the hands must be washed first, then the products you buy must be cleaned and then the hands must be washed again.
