Preventive measures to prevent the occurrence and spread of coronavirus infection (COVID-19)

As often as possible, especially after using public transport, after any visit to the street and public places, before and after eating, wash your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer. Carry hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes with you to be able to clean your hands in any environment. These simple measures will remove viruses from your hands!

- Perform regular wet cleaning of the room where you are located, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with household detergents. First of all, pay attention to door handles, handrails, tables, chairs, computer keyboards and mice, telephone sets, remote controls, panels of office equipment for general use and other objects that you touch at home and at work. Keeping surfaces clean is one of the simplest, but most important rules! As often as possible and regularly ventilate the room and humidify the air by any means available in the room where you are.

- Avoid close contact with people who seem unwell, who have signs of a respiratory infection (for example, coughing, sneezing). Avoid shaking hands and kissing when greeting (until the end of the ORI season). Remember that respiratory viruses are transmitted from a sick person to a healthy person by airborne droplets (when talking, sneezing, coughing). Therefore, try to keep a distance of at least 1-1. 5 m from people who have symptoms of a respiratory infection.

- Observe "respiratory etiquette": cover your mouth and nose with a napkin (handkerchief) when sneezing or coughing; use disposable paper napkins (handkerchiefs), which you throw away immediately after use; in the absence of a napkin (handkerchief), cough or sneeze in the crook of the elbow; do not touch the nose, mouth and eyes with unwashed hands.

At the end, give the desired shape to the flexible strip (nose clip), ensuring a tight fit of the mask to the face. Remove the product by holding the ties (elastic band) at the back, without touching the front of the mask. Dispose of the removed mask in a resealable waste container. Wash your hands with soap or treat with an alcohol-containing product. If necessary, put on a new mask, following steps 1-3.
