About COVID-19

Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus.

The disease causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in
more severe cases, difficulty breathing. You can protect yourself by washing your hands
frequently, avoiding touching your face, and avoiding close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with
people who are unwell.

Precautions To Be Taken

Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak, available through your national
and local public health authorities. Most people who become infected experience mild illness and
recover, but it can be more severe for others. Take care of your health and protect others by
doing the following:

• Wash your hands frequently

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 social distancing

Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or
sneezing.

Why?

When someone coughs or sneezes 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 coughing has the disease.

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 can make you
sick.
• Practice respiratory hygiene

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.

Why?

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

• If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early

Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical
attention and call in advance. 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.
• Stay informed and follow advice given by your healthcare provider

Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-19. Follow advice given by your
healthcare provider, your national and local public health authority or your employer on how to
protect yourself and others from COVID-19.

Why?

National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on whether COVID-19
is spreading in your area. They are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be
doing to protect themselves.
