– Clean your hands often by washing them with soap and water.
– If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based sanitizer.
– Use proper coughing techniques (Coughing into the elbow or your clothes), especially in public or crowded
places like in trotro, VIP buses, market areas, taxis, etc.
– Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. STOP biting your fingernails.
– Avoid close contact with people who are sick, especially those with flu-like symptoms.
– Seek medical care if you feel sick especially if you are experiencing fever, shortness of breath and cough
symptoms.
– If possible, delay all travel to countries that currently have high COVID-19 cases. If you must travel, please
follow all the preventive guidelines above.
