6 steps to avoid Covid-19
It is important that we, as individuals, support the prevention process by having good hygiene principles, which include:
- be in a well-ventilated space indoors if you possibly can or wear a mask if you cannot ensure ventilation;
- cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze with your elbow or handkerchief;
- wash your hands frequently with soap and water, including before and after eating or going to the bathroom;
- get tested if you are symptomatic at all;
- if eligible, have access to those medicines that you can take to help protect you from severe illness;
- be up to date with any vaccine that you are still eligible for.
