    Apparently to avoid catching any viruses you are advised to not touch
    your mouth, nose, eyes or face. I understand why with the first three
    but what's wrong with touching your face? Could it be that you could
    touch your face then your mouth whilst eating for example? I touch
    my face all day at work ( work on a hospital ward!) but j make sure
    not to touch my mouth nose or mouth. Should I stop touching my
    face?
    Whatever decreaseth fear increaseth courage.

    I agree with what is posted above. I think they meant not to touch your
    eyes, nose and mouth. When I say nose. .you can itch your nose etc
    but you can catch things via your nostrils. Maybe thats why they said
    face? I am not sure.. either way I don't touch near my nostrils, eyes, or
    mouth when I am at work.

    I touch my face but make sure to stay clear of my mouth and nose.I usually rinse my mouth if I touch it or something just to be safe.
