Coronavirus: All The Info

[Updated: April 2020]

General safety tips

You can’t always assume someone has contracted coronavirus if they start coughing or sneezing suddenly. However, to be sure, there are ways you can protect yourself.

• Wash your hands thoroughly throughout the day with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitiser.
• Avoid close contact with anyone who has a fever or a cough.
• Avoid touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
• Stay away from markets selling live animals and avoid unprotected contact with animals.
• Avoid eating raw or undercooked foods. Use different boards and utensils for raw and cooked foods.
• Wearing facemasks are highly recommended, make sure to cover your mouth and nose and avoid touching the mask when it’s on.
• Throw away single-use facemasks immediately after use and wash your hands immediately afterwards.

If you develop a fever, cough and/or difficulty breathing, take note of the following:

• Seek medical attention immediately and share your previous travel history with your healthcare provider.
• When coughing and sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or flexed elbow – throw the tissue away immediately and wash your hands.
• Avoid spitting in public.
• Avoid close contact with other people to prevent infection.
• Do not travel if you start developing the symptoms for the coronavirus.
