How can i protect myself from Corona virus (COVID-19) ?

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least one minute especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
• Wash them regularly when you are at the office; when you come home; before you eat, and other times that you are touching surfaces.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands —viruses can enter your body that way.
• Wipe down objects and surfaces frequently with a household cleaner, which will kill the virus.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
• Throw used tissues in the trash.
• Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
• If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
• Wear a facemask if you are sick. If you are sick: You should wear a facemask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. If you are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then you should do your best to cover your coughs and sneezes, and people who are caring for you should wear a facemask if they enter your room. Learn what to do if you are sick.
• If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Maintain a distance from people who are sick. Stay about 6 feet or more from others.
• Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.
• Stay home if you’re sick, except to get medical care. Learn what to do if you are sick.
• Visit a doctor if you have symptoms, and avoid direct contact with live animals in affected areas. Those recommendations are also echoed by the CDC.Trusted Source
