We are not in normal times. Kindly do your best (go all out) to protect yourself and your loved ones. Follow all the guidelines provided by the government and the World Health Organisation. Also learn to recognise the symptoms of the disease!
Protect!
Stay as far away as possible from others when coughing or sneezing; better yet, face away from them. Sneeze into the crook of your arm or into a paper handkerchief that you then throw away immediately. Avoid touching other persons when greeting them and wash your hands regularly and thoroughly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water.
Recognise!
The initial symptoms are coughing, a runny nose, sore throat and fever. Some patients also suffer from diarrhoea. Severe cases may experience breathing problems or develop a lung infection. Disease symptoms can emerge up to 14 days after infection.
Act!
Have you spent time in an area that has already seen cases of the novel coronavirus? If, within 14 days, any of the above-mentioned disease symptoms emerge, avoid unnecessary contact with other persons and stay at home wherever possible. Get in touch with your doctor by phone and discuss how best to proceed, before going to his or her office. Have you had contact with someone suffering from such a disease? Get in touch with your local health office. Current information on the coronavirus. Source: German Federal Ministry of Health
