There is no vaccine for<unk> , although immunologist Anthony Fauci mentioned that the CDC developed one and placed it in the US national stockpile. That vaccine, however, is a prototype and not field-ready as of March 2020. Clinical isolation and quarantine remain the most effective means to prevent the spread of<unk> . Other preventive measures include: *Hand-washing with soap and water, or use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer * Disinfection of surfaces of fomites to remove viruses * Avoiding contact with bodily fluids * Washing the personal items of someone with<unk>  in hot, soapy water (eating utensils, dishes, bedding, etc.) * Avoiding travel to affected areas * Wearing masks and gloves * Keeping people with symptoms home from school * Simple hygiene measures * Isolating oneself as much as possible to minimize the chances of transmission of the virus Many public health interventions were made to try to control the spread of the disease, which is mainly spread through respiratory droplets in the air, either inhaled or deposited on surfaces and subsequently transferred to a body's mucous membranes. These interventions included earlier detection of the disease; isolation of people who are infected; droplet and contact precautions; and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), including masks and isolation gowns. A 2017 meta-analysis found that for medical professionals wearing N-95 masks could reduce the chances of getting sick up to 80% compared to no mask. A screening process was also put in place at airports to monitor air travel to and from affected countries.<unk> -CoV is most infectious in severely ill patients, which usually occurs during the second week of illness. This delayed infectious period meant that quarantine was highly effective; people who were isolated before day five of their illness rarely transmitted the disease to others. As of 2017, the CDC was still working to make federal and local rapid-response guidelines and recommendations in the event of a reappearance of the virus.
