Defense yourself and others from the spread COVID-19

You can reduce your chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19 by taking some simple tips:

•  Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.
• Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and others.
• Avoid going to crowded places.
• Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. 
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources, such as WHO or your local and national health authorities.

Advice on the safe use of hand sanitizers

To protect yourself and others against COVID-19, clean your hands with alcohol-based hand sanitizer or wash your hands with soap and water.If you use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, make sure you use carefully.

• Keep alcohol-based hand sanitizers out of children’s reach. Teach them how to apply the sanitizer.
• Apply a coin-sized amount on your hands. There is no need to use a large amount of the product for washing your hands.
• Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose immediately after using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, because it can cause irritation.
• Hand sanitizers recommended to protect against CORONA VIRUS are alcohol-based and therefore can be flammable. Do not use before cooking.
• Under no circumstance, drink or let children swallow an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. It can be poisonous. 
• Remember that washing your hands with soap and water is also effective against CORONA VIRUS.
