Protection Measures For Everyone
Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak,
available on the WHO website
and through your national and local public health authority.
Many countries around the world have seen cases of COVID-19
and several have seen outbreaks.
Authorities in China and some other countries
have succeeded in slowing or stopping their outbreaks.
However, the situation is unpredictable
so check regularly for the latest news.
You can reduce your chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19
by taking some simple precautions:
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands
with an alcohol-based hand rub
or wash them with soap and water.
Why?
Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub
kills viruses that may be on your hands.
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.
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.
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.
Stay home if you feel unwell.
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing,
seek medical attention and call in advance.
Follow the directions of your local health authority.
Why?
National and local authorities will have the most up to date information
on the situation in your area.
Calling in advance will allow your health care provider
to quickly direct you to the right health facility.
This will also protect you
and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.
Keep up to date on the latest COVID-19 hotspots
(cities or local areas where COVID-19 is spreading widely).
If possible, avoid traveling to places –
especially if you are an older person or have diabetes, heart or lung disease.
Why?
You have a higher chance of catching COVID-19 in one of these areas.
