Protection measures you can take to survive this ridiculous outbreak of COVID-19
1. Wash Your Hands, Stop Ignoring It!
Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
2. Keep Your Distance
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.
3. Stop Touching Yourself
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.
4. Follow Good 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.
5. Stay Home
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.
6. Keep Updated With COVID-19 Hotspots
Why? You have a higher chance of catching COVID-19 in one of these areas.
