What’s the best way to prevent the spread of the coronavirus?

Here are a few tips on what you can do to do your part:

• Wash your hands often with soap (or soap substitutes) and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser. This is particularly important after taking public transport. 

• Use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available. 

• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in a bin. 

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces in the home and work environment. 

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. 

• Government advice is to reduce social interaction between people. The advice includes the social distancing measures we should all be taking, including working from home where possible.
