Seven simple steps to protect yourself and others against COVID-19

March 12, 2020

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new coronavirus. Most

people who become infected will experience non-severe symptoms and recover. But others will
experience serious illness, especially in the elderly and those with chronic illnesses. Here are some
simple steps you can take to protect your health and the health of others.

These tips can be followed by everyone, but they are very important if you live in an area with
COVID-19.

1. Wash your hands often

Practice hand washing thoroughly with hand sanitizer with alcohol or wash with soap and water.

2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth

We often hold our hand unconsciously. Be vigilant about it, and avoid touching your eyes, nose
and mouth.

3. Cover your cough and sneeze

Make sure you, and the people around you, follow proper respiratory hygiene. This means
covering the mouth and nose with the inside of the elbow or tissue when coughing or
sneezing. Immediately dispose of used tissue in a covered trash can and wash hands.

4. Avoid crowded places and close contact with a person with a fever or cough
Avoid crowded places, especially if you are over 60 or have a chronic illness such as high blood
pressure, diabetes, heart and lung disease or cancer. Keep at least 1 meter apart from you and
anyone with a fever or cough.

5. Stay home if you are sick

Stay home if you are feeling sick, even if it is just a fever and a cough.

6. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, consult immediately - but call the health
facility first
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, consult early - if possible, call a hospital or
health center first to be told where you are going.

7. Get information from a trusted authority

Find out the latest information about COVID-19 from trusted artists. Make sure the information
comes from reliable speakers - the Department of Health, the World Health Organization (WHO), or
your local health worker. Everyone should know the symptoms - most COVID-19 starts with fever and
dry cough.
