Stay up-to-date with the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak, available on the WHO website and through your national and local public health authority. COVID-19 still affects the majority of people in China, with some outbreaks in other countries. Most people who become infected experience a 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 hands and sanitize

Wash your hands regularly and immaculately with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, or wash them with soap and water.

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

.

Social distancing guidelines

Keep a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) between you and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

Why? When someone coughs or sneezes, they spray tiny drops of fluid from their nose or mouth that may contain the virus. If you are too close, you can inhale 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 catch viruses. Once infected, the hands can transfer the virus to the eyes, nose, or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and make you sick.

Respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette

Make sure you and those around you follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with an elbow or a folded tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used fabric immediately.

Why? The droplets transmit the virus. By following good respiratory hygiene, you protect the people around you from viruses like colds, flu, and COVID-19.

When to seek medical care for COVID-19?

Stay home if you are not feeling well. If you have a fever, cough, and shortness of breath, seek medical attention and call ahead. Follow the instructions 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 ahead will allow your doctor to quickly refer you to the right health centre. This will also protect you and help prevent the spread of viruses and other infections.

Follow the healthcare provider for medical advice

Stay up-to-date on the latest developments on COVID-19. Follow the 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 in the best position to advise on what people in your area should do to protect themselves.

• Follow the instructions above.
• Stay home if you are not feeling well, even with mild symptoms, such as a headache and a mild runny nose, until you recover. Why? Avoiding contact with other people and visiting health facilities will allow those facilities to operate more efficiently and help protect yourself and others from possible COVID-19 and other viruses.
• If you develop a fever, cough, and shortness of breath, seek medical attention immediately, as this may be due to a respiratory infection or another serious condition. Call ahead and inform your provider of any recent travel or contact with travellers. Why? Calling ahead will allow your doctor to quickly refer you to the right health centre. This will also help prevent the possible spread of COVID-19 and other viruses.
