Basic protective measures against the new coronavirus

Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand rub if your hands are not visibly dirty

 

Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub eliminates the virus if it is on your hands

 

When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water

 

Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing and have a fever

 

Hands touch many surfaces which can be contaminated with the virus. If you touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your contaminated hands, you can transfer the virus from the surface to yourself

 

If you have mild respiratory symptoms and no travel history to or within China, carefully practice basic respiratory and hand hygiene and stay home until you are recovered, if possible
