    safety measures

    Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth


    Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can
    transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and
    can make you sick.

    Maintain social distancing


    Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

    Why? When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which
    may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the
    person coughing has the disease.

    Practice respiratory hygiene


    Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means
    covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze.
    Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.
    Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people
    around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.

    1. Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with
    soap and water.
    2. Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and others.
    3. Avoid going to crowded places.
    4. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.
    5. Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means
    covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then
    dispose of the used tissue immediately and wash your hands.
    6. Stay home and self-isolate even with minor symptoms such as cough, headache, mild fever,
    until you recover. Have someone bring you supplies. If you need to leave your house, wear a
    mask to avoid infecting others.
    7. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention, but call by telephone
    in advance if possible and follow the directions of your local health authority.
