The World Health Organisation recommends washing hands regularly with soap and water, avoiding touching your face with dirty hands, and maintaining distance from sick individuals to protect against MERS. They also suggest sanitizing common surfaces and covering coughs and sneezes, as well as seeking medical help for prolonged MERS symptoms like fever, cough, chest pain and breathing difficulties.
