Simple Ways to Protect Yourself from COVID-19

There is no vaccine available for COVID-19 yet. So, the only thing you can do now is protect yourself from getting infected from COVID-19 disease in the first place. Here are some simple ways to do it:

  • Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak
  • Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with soap or an alcohol-based hand wash
  • Avoid touching your nose, mouth or eyes as much as possible
  • Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and other people (6 feet is better)
  • Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze
  • Stay home if you feel unwell
  • Avoid traveling especially if you are an older person or have diabetes, heart or lung disease
  • Wear a mask while traveling, especially if you feel sick
