Personal protection
When and how to wear medical masks to protect against coronavirus?
• Before putting on a mask, clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
• Cover mouth and nose with mask and make sure there are no gaps between your face and the mask.
• Avoid touching the mask while using it; if you do, clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
• Replace the mask with a new one as soon as it is damp and do not re-use single-use masks.
• To remove the mask: remove it from behind (do not touch the front of mask); discard immediately in a closed bin; clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
• If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19.
• Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing.
• Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
• If you wear a mask, then you must know how to use it and dispose of it properly.
Importance of Social Distancing
• Experts agree that the COVID-19 outbreak cannot be stopped, but that it can be slowed through the implementation of social distancing measures.
• Limiting human contact reduces transmission rates.
• The sooner social distancing measures are introduced, the slower infection rates will be, preventing an unmanageable peak of cases.,,BR.
CAUTION IS NEEDED, NOT FEAR.......
Be READY to fight.
