On a day to day basis the most important action we can take to protect ourselves from Covid-19 is regular handwashing and good respiratory hygiene. 

• Wash your hands well and often to avoid contamination
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing and discard used tissue in waste bin
• Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
