• Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
• Try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick and practice physical distancing.
• Cough and sneeze into your sleeve and not your hands.

Symptoms

Symptoms of COVID-19 can:
