Basic COVID-19 protective measures for Individual and Community (Ref. who.int/epi-win): Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly: Why? We frequently use our hands to touch objects and surfaces that may be contaminated. Without realizing it, we then touch our faces, transferring viruses to our eyes, nose and mouth where they can infect us. Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands – including the new coronavirus.

Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth: Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose, or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.

Cover your cough with the bend of your elbow or tissue:

Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene, you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.

Avoid crowded places: Why? Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who has a cough or is sneezing. This also means that you should avoid greeting people who have those symptoms with a kiss or by shaking hands.

Stay at home if you feel unwell – even with a slight fever and cough: Why? By staying at home, and not going to work or other places, you will recover faster and will avoid transmitting diseases to other people.

If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early - but call by phone first: Why? If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, stay at home and call your doctor or local health professional. He or she will ask some questions about your symptoms, where you have been and who you have had contact with Stay aware of the latest information from who.int/epi-win: Make sure your information comes from reliable sources — your local or national public health agency, the WHO website, or your local health professional. Everyone should know the COVID-19 symptoms — for most people, it starts with dry cough, not a runny nose.
