To overcome these ingrained habits, Michie recommends making a conscious effort to keep your hands below shoulder level at all times and train yourself to resist the urge to touch your face.The face, specifically what doctors call the T-zone of your eyes, nose and mouth, is a key route of transmission for the novel coronavirus. It can be spread via droplets that are expelled into the air and contaminate surfaces and objects like cellphones, car keys, door handles and elevators.
Unlike, say, measles, for the most part you can't get COVID-19 simply by being in the same room as someone who has it already. "They are totally comfortable, and you can see really well," said Dr. Ben LaBrot, the founder of Floating Doctors and a clinical assistant professor of medical education at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine. "You wear it over your hat."
Similarly, West said wearing a face mask could help people stop touching their mouth and nose, although there was a risk that the act of putting the mask on and taking it off could cause contamination.Another strategy West recommended was coming up with a "counter-habit." "The trigger is noticing your hand is moving to your face. One obvious thing is to divert it and scratch the back of your head -- redirect it.
West said he was "astonished" more wasn't being done to encourage people not to touch their faces given what a critical role the behaviour plays in spreading the virus.such a trivial thing. It's almost silly, and it just doesn't feel right that stopping face touching could make much of a difference.

I find that the minute someone tells me not to touch my face... The 1st thing I want to do is touch my face. Human nature? Have been improving. One of the hardest things not to do.

Just wash your hands. Then you can touch your face whenever you want
It's extremely difficult.
Painting it orange unfortunately seems to work
Dont put on face mask
A glass of wine in each hand helps.
