“Wash your hands often. Have breakfast, lunch and dinner on time. I’m a non-drinker, but lately I’ve been jokingly saying that you should not only wash your hands with vodka, but also, probably, 40-50 grams per day in terms of pure alcohol to poison this virus. But not at work,” he said in mid-March.
