It can be difficult to keep a distance between you and elderly family members. That’s why it is so important to wash your hands and keep a distance from friends and others outside your home.
   Just do the best you can!

Sneeze in your elbow

Sneezing in your elbow prevents the virus from getting on your hands, on stuff and other people.

Don’t touch your face

You can catch the virus by touching your mouth, nose or eyes – spots where the virus can get into your body.

Wash your hands often

Wet your hands, lather with soap and scrub all surfaces of the hand for 20 seconds. Rinse hands and dry.

Wash often

Clean hands protects you and others. Wash whenever hands are dirtied and always, for example after toilet use and playing, before cooking and after doing chores, before and after eating and after playing.
    If you live somewhere with limited access to water, and where you fetch water from a communal tap or well, wash hands before and after using it.
   Can you think of other times in your daily life when you may have picked up the virus on your hands, and need to wash?
