How to prevent the spread of Coronavirus
1. Wash your hands properly.
Frequently clean your hands by using soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub. You can get the virus by touching a variety of common surfaces such as doorknobs. So, avoid touching your mouth, nose or eyes unless your hands are thoroughly cleaned.
2. Cover your coughs and sneezes.
When coughing and sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard the tissue immediately and wash your hands.
3. Practice social/physical distancing.
Avoid close contact (maintain at least six feet/two-meters distance) with other people in public and especially those who have a fever or a cough. Only leave your home for essential travel.
4. Wear cloth face coverings in public.
The Kenyan Government has made it mandatory for people to wear a cloth face-covering in public settings where physical distancing is difficult to maintain (grocery shops, pharmacies, etc.). Continue to practice physical distancing while wearing face coverings.
5. Stay home, especially if you feel sick.
If you are sick with fever or cough, stay home. Only leave your home for essential travel. Follow guidance and “Stay Home” orders given by your local health officials.
