Covid Guidelines

What to do to keep yourself and others safe from COVID-19 ?

Maintain at least a 1-metre distance between yourself and others to reduce your risk of infection when they cough, sneeze or speak. Make wearing a mask a normal part of being around other people. The appropriate use, storage and cleaning or disposal are essential to make masks as effective as possible.

How to make your environment safer ?

Avoid the 3Cs: spaces that are closed, crowded or involve close contact.

Meet people outside. Outdoor gatherings are safer than indoor ones, particularly if indoor spaces are small and without outdoor air coming in

Avoid crowded or indoor settings but if you can’t, then take precautions.

Open a window. Increase the amount of ‘natural ventilation’ when indoors.

Don’t forget the basics of good hygiene

Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses.

Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze.

Clean and disinfect surfaces frequently especially those which are regularly touched, such as door handles, faucets and phone screens.

What to do if you feel unwell?

Know the full range of symptoms of COVID-19. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness.

Stay home and self-isolate even if you have minor symptoms such as cough, headache, mild fever, until you recover.

Call your health care provider or hotline for advice. Have someone bring you supplies.

If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.

Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources, such as WHO or your local and national health authorities.
