Update on COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus)

We encourage all to follow WHO guidelines with respect to general hygiene:
The World Health Organisation’s standard recommendations for the general public to reduce exposure to and transmission of a range of illnesses are as follows, which include hand and respiratory hygiene:

• Wash your hands frequently
  Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand rub if your hands are not visibly dirty.

• Maintain social distancing
  Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

• Practice respiratory hygiene
  When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.

• Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
   Hands touch many surfaces which can be contaminated with the virus. If you touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your contaminated hands, you can transfer the virus from the surface to yourself.

• If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early
  Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority.

• Stay informed and follow advice given by your healthcare provider
  Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-19. Follow advice given by your healthcare provider, your national and local public health authority or your employer on how to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
