COVID-19 (Coronavirus 2019-nCov)

These are the basics you need to know

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Social distancing: Put distance between yourself and other people. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.
If you are sick, please stay home.
