Hi,

Taking preventive measures to not become infected is a good thing.

If you go to bathroom, then, you can disinfect the toilet and place some toilet papers covering the toilet before sitting to pass the motion.

Some people use not to sit when passing the motion. Wash your hands thoroughly and disinfect after.

All the best!
