How to protect yourself from the virus

• Practice social distancing (including at work)
• Pay great attention to hygiene
• Avoid people assemblies
• Use the phone or teleconference rather than in person meetings
• Do not shake hands 

How does the virus spread?

The virus is transmitted by:

• Droplets when someone sneezes or coughs;
• Personal contacts (less than 2 m) and prolonged contacts;
• Touching a contaminated object, and then touching one’s mouth, eyes or nose before washing your hands.

Protect with hygiene

• Frequently wash your hands with soap and warm water;
• Use alcohol-based rub if water and soap are not available;
• Sneeze or cough in a tissue (or your elbow). Immediately discard the tissue;
• Do not touch your mouth, nose and eyes;
• Keep your distance (if possible, at least 2 m);
• Do not eat at food buffet;
• Avoid all social contacts with sick persons;
• Disinfect frequently touched surfaces: door knobs, phone, toilet and sink taps, microwave buttons and toys with a disinfectant or bleach (one part of bleach for 9 parts of water

Stay at home

• The best way to protect yourself is to avoid contacts with other people.
• Avoid public places.
• Avoid visiting friends and family. The elderly, people with chronic diseases and people with a compromised immune system are the most at risk.
• If you must meet someone, keep your distance (at least 2 m.)
