Stay safe during the pandemic

Precautions to take against Covid according to WHO

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has a page for Covid-19 with information about the virus, news and guidelines on how to protect yourself.

Here are their recommendations:

• Wash your hands frequently using soap or an alcohol-based sanitiser.
• Maintain social distancing of one metre between yourself and others.
• Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth because your hands can transfer the virus.
• Cover your mouth and nose if you cough/sneeze into a bent elbow or tissue to protect those around you.
• Seek medical help early if you show symptoms. These include fever, cough and difficulty breathing.
• Stay informed and follow the advice given by healthcare providers and authorities.

Resources on the WHO Covid-19 webpage

As well as tips for staying safe during the epidemic, the WHO web page also has a wealth of other useful information.

The page is regularly updated with relevant news stories, details on how to deal with stress related to the crisis and also has a section on myth-busters and advice on healthy parenting.
