How can I protect myself and others from getting COVID-19?
Everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses should be followed, these include:
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
• Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing and have a fever.
• Wear cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
• Stay home and self-isolate even with minor symptoms such as cough, headache, mild fever, until you recover.
