Useful Information to Help you Stay Safe
Good Hygiene
- Wash your hands regularly, especially after using the restroom and before preparing or consuming food. Using soap and warm water, wash for at least 20 seconds, making sure to also wash your fingertips.
- Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 90% alcohol to wipe your hands when required.
- Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands or in the air. Always try to cough or sneeze into a tissue, and then throw the tissue away. If you don’t have a tissue, cough/sneeze into your arm.

- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Social Distancing
- Keep a distance of 1.5 metres between you and other people whenever possible.

Stay Calm
