General recommendations - to protect against coronavirus infection:

• Wash your hands very regularly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, then dry your hands thoroughly.
• Avoid touching your face.
• Use disposable tissues.
• Use a mask - it prevents infection of others and limits touching your face, which reduces the possibility of self-infection.
• Keep a safe distance from other people, especially for people who seem sick, e.g. coughing or sneezing.
• Avoid handshakes and hugs with others.
• Try to avoid public transport and large groups of people.
• Disinfect the items you use most often (phone, wallet, keys etc.)
