General Precautions COVID-19

General Precautions

There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19 disease. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus and follow general precautions against flu to prevent people from catching and spreading COVID-19 disease:

●Avoid shaking hands. Instead use different ways to greet each other. 

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

●Maintain at least 1,5 meter distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing, sneezing, or do not feel well;

●Follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose the used tissue immediately;

●Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Your 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;

●Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces;

●Inform you supervisor or manager when you do not feel well, especially if you have a fever, cough and/or difficulty in breathing.
