Q5: What can I do to protect myself?
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand rub.
Maintain social distancing -- maintain at least 1 meter distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing and have a fever.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early.
Q6: Should I wear a mask?
Wearing a medical mask can help limit the spread of some respiratory disease. However, it should be combined with other prevention measures including hand and respiratory hygiene and avoiding close contact.
