How to avoid catching or spreading coronavirus

It is recommended that you wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds when you get home and arrive to work. If soap and water are unavailable use hand sanitiser gel. Always cover your mouth and nose with tissue paper or your sleeve (never use your hands) when you cough or sneeze. Make sure you put used tissues in a waste bin and wash your hands afterwards. Never touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not 100% clean.
