Preventive Actions to Help Prevent the Spread of Viruses

by | Mar 5, 2020

  • Stay at home when you are sick.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
    • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the rubbish bin.
  • Avoid close contact with people (kissing, hugging, shaking hands,…)
  • Use alcohol-based hand sanitisers/wipes when using frequently touched objects and surfaces (buses, public spaces)
