HOW TO KEEP SAFE IN LIGHT OF THE CORONAVIRUS INFECTION (COVID-19)

Maintain good hand hygiene and good respiratory etiquette.

Cover your cough and sneeze the right way.

DO: Use tissue and place it immediately in the bin. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer.

Do: Cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve (not into your hands!). Germs won’t spread through your clothing.

 

What are the rules for disinfection/hand washing?

Hand washing and disinfection is the key to preventing infection. You should wash your hands often and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, you can also use alcohol-based hand sanitiser with at least 60% alcohol. The virus enters your body via your eyes, nose and mouth, so avoid touching them with unwashed hands.

It is of utmost importance that you also teach your family members and children the above precautions.
