Brief Answer:
Proper hand hygiene and face mask will do the job.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
It will be always better to stay at home until the whole scenario settles.
Work from home is recommended in all possible places.
If you can not do work from home, you have to take
all necessary precautions. Hand hygiene is the most important aspect and you have to do hand wash with soap and water( soap is better than alcohol based sanitizer) and wear a protective mask as well. You should keep one meter distance from the customer.
Clostridium difficile infection does not have much role with COVID and you can continue your routine drugs and diet if something is there.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
