The standard recommendation to prevent the spread of infection is through regular hand washing, use of hand sanitizer, apply cough and sneeze etiquette, avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. One of the places that must be considered in implementing Infection Prevention and Control (PPI) is at the Health Service facility which is visited by many people every day, namely by installing hand sanitizer dispensers in every health service place in Tanjungpinang City.
