1. Stay home if you are ill.
2. Wash your hands regularly.

4. If you do not have a tissue close at hand, sneeze or cough into your elbow.

HELP SLOW THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS :

coronavirus-2
1. Avoid giving a handshake, kissing or hugging when greeting someone.
2. Pay attention to at-risk groups (people over 65, diabetics, people with heart, lung or kidney disease, immunocompromised people, etc.).
3. Children do not get seriously ill because of the coronavirus, but they can easily spread it. Contact between children and the elderly is therefore not recommended.
4. Try to keep your distance in high-attendance areas.
5. Avoid contact with visibly ill people or keep a sufficient distance.

In case of flu-like symptoms, please call your doctor.
To prevent spread, do not go to waiting rooms or confined spaces.
