Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) advice for the public

Following is the text of the UN World Health Organisation (WHO) 29-04-2020

Protecting yourself and others from the spread COVID-19.




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

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

Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills
viruses that may be on your hands.


- Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and others. Why?

When someone coughs, sneezes, or speaks 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 has the
disease.


- Avoid going to crowded places. Why?

Where people come together in crowds, you are more likely to come into close
contact with someone that has COIVD-19 and it is more difficult to maintain
physical distance of 1 metre (3 feet).


- Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. 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 infect you.


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. Why?

Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene, you protect the
people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.


- 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. Why?

Avoiding contact with others will protect them from possible COVID-19 and other
viruses.


- 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. 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.


- Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources, such as
WWW.WHO.ORG or your local and national health authorities. Why? Local and
national authorities are best placed to advise on what people in your area
should be doing to protect themselves.



Advice on the safe use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers

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

Keep alcohol-based hand sanitizers out of children’s reach. Teach them how to
apply the sanitizer and monitor its use.

Apply a coin-sized amount on your hands. There is no need to use a large amount
of the product. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose immediately after using
an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, as it can cause irritation.

Hand sanitizers recommended to protect against COVID-19 are alcohol-based and
therefore can be flammable. Do not use before handling fire or 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
COVID-19.
