Protect yourself and others from spreading COVID-19

You can reduce the likelihood of COVID-19 being infected or spread by taking some simple precautions:

Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcoholic hand or wash your hands with soap and water. Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand rub will kill viruses that may be on your hands.

Maintain a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) between you and others. Why? When someone coughs, sneezes or says they spray small droplets of liquid from their nose or mouth that may contain the virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in water droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person is ill.

Avoid going to crowded places. Why? When people come together in the crowd, you are more likely to have close contact with people with COIVD-19 and maintaining a physical distance of 1 meter (3 feet) will be more difficult.

Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can become infected with viruses. After being contaminated, hands can spread the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and infect you.

Make sure you and the people around you follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your elbow or a curled tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then throw away used tissue immediately and wash your hands. Why? Drops spread the virus. By following good respiratory hygiene, you protect people from viruses like colds, flu and COVID-19.

Stay home and isolate yourself even with minor symptoms such as cough, headache, mild fever, until you recover. Someone brought you things. If you need to leave your home, wear a mask to keep from infecting others. Why? Avoiding contact with others will protect them from COVID-19 and other viruses.

If you have a fever, cough and shortness of breath, see your doctor, but call ahead if possible and follow the instructions of the local health authorities. Why? National and local authorities will have the most updated information on the situation in your area. Calling ahead will allow your health care provider to quickly get you to the right medical facility. This will also protect you and help prevent the spread of viruses and other infections.

Stay up to date with the latest information from trusted sources, such as WHO or your local and national health authorities. Why? Local and national governments are best placed to advise on what people in your area should do to protect themselves.
