You can reduce your chances of becoming infected or spreading COVID-19 by taking simple safety measures:
Always wash your hands with alcohol-based soap or wash them with soap and water. Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based rub can kill germs on your hands.
Keep at least 1 meter (3 meters) between you and others. Why? When a person coughs, whispers, or speaks, they spray small droplets on the nose or mouth that may be infected. If you are too close, you can breathe droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if a person has the disease.
Avoid crowded places. Why? When people gather in crowds, you are more likely to meet someone with COVID-19 and it is very difficult to maintain a physical distance of 1 meter (3 meters).
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Why? Hands touch many places and can get germs. When contaminated, hands can transmit 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 closest to you, follow good breathing hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with elle or your curved tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then immediately dispose of used tissue and wash your hands. Why? The droplets spread the virus. By following good respiratory hygiene, you protect people around you from infections such as colds, flu and COVID-19.
Stay at home and isolate yourself from even minor symptoms such as a cough, headache, mild fever, until you recover. Ask someone to bring you the goods. If you need to get out of your house, wear a mask to avoid infecting others. Why? Avoiding contact with others will prevent them from potentially COVID-19 and other viruses.
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical help, but call ahead if possible and follow the directions of local health authorities. Why? National and local authorities will keep up-to-date on this situation in your area. Calling early will allow your healthcare provider to direct you to the appropriate health facility. This will protect you and help prevent the spread of germs and other diseases.
Keep up to date with the latest information from trusted sources, such as the WHO or your local and national health authorities. Why? Local and national authorities are best advised on what people in your area should do to protect themselves.
Safe use of alcohol-based cleaners
To protect yourself and others from COVID-19, wash your hands often. Use an alcohol-based sanitizer or wash your hands with soap and water. If you use an alcohol-based sanitizer, be sure to use it and store it carefully.
Keep alcohol-abuse barriers out of the reach of children. Teach them how to use the sanitizer and monitor its use.
Put the amount of money in your hands. There is no need to use a large amount of product.
Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose immediately after using an alcohol-based sanitizer, as it may cause irritation.
Hand sanitizers are recommended for the protective protection of COVID-19 from alcohol and therefore can be flammable. Do not use before handling fire or cooking.
In any case, drink or allow children to swallow an alcohol-based sanitizer. It can be toxic.
Remember that washing your hands with soap and water is also effective against COVID-19.
