Wash your hands
Washing your hands properly takes about as long as singing "Happy Birthday" twice, using the images below.
Wear face mask
Wear masks in public settings, like on public and mass transportation, at events and gatherings, and anywhere they will be around other people.
Keep the distance
Limiting close face-to-face contact with others is the best way to reduce the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Human Contact
Coronaviruses can be transmitted from person to person, usually after close contact with an infected patient, for example, in a household workplace, or health care centre.
Air Transmission
Airborne transmission is an infection spread through exposure to those virus-containing respiratory droplets comprised of smaller droplets and particles that can remain suspended in the air over long distances (usually greater than 6 feet) and time (typically hours).
Contaminate Object
Based on data from lab studies on Covid-19 and what we know about similar respiratory diseases, it may be possible that a person can get Covid-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose or possibly their eyes.
Fever
Fever is one of the most common symptoms of COVID-19. However, people with COVID-19 may sometimes have a low-grade fever or no fever at all.
Dry Cough
If you have a wet cough with lots of mucus, you want to take an expectorant to help get the mucus out. If you have a dry cough, a cough suppressant is what you want.
Tiredness
When recovering from COVID-19 (coronavirus), you may feel you need to sleep more or feel exhausted after only taking a short walk.
Sore Throat
A sore throat can be one symptom of COVID-19. At this point in time, it isn’t well documented when exactly a sore throat occurs in the course of the infection.
Diarrhoea
Some people may experience diarrhea without other flu-like symptoms, like a fever. Diarrhea can be the first symptom of COVID-19.
Conjunctivitis
If you have conjunctivitis, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have COVID-19. The more likely causes are the many different viruses, bacteria, chemicals, and allergens that can irritate your eyes.
