One big coronavirus challenge is how to stop touching your face

It took a coronavirus outbreak to remind us that we touch our faces too many times. And cutting down on that will help stop the spread of the virus, health officials say.

冠状病毒爆发提醒我们，我们触摸自己的脸太多次了。卫生官员说，减少触摸脸部将有助于阻止病毒的传播。

But we've been touching our faces all our lives, and stopping that habit is easier said than done.

但我们一辈子都在摸自己的脸，戒掉这个习惯说起来容易做起来难。

If you can't stop yourself, it's not the end of the world, Becker says. There are ways to lower your chances of infections from face touching.

贝克尔说，如果你不能阻止自己，那不是世界末日。有很多方法可以降低你因面部接被触感染的几率。

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If water is not available, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
