If you are healthy, the use of a medical face mask when visiting busy, closed places reduces the spread of the infection in the community. Always follow local recommendations regarding the use of masks in public spaces.

• Avoid touching your face
  The virus can enter your body via your eyes, nose and/or mouth, so it is important to avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.
• Wash your hands
  Frequent washing of hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or cleaning hands thoroughly with alcohol-based solutions, gels or tissues is recommended in all settings.
• Stay away from infected persons
  Avoid having close contacts with people infected with COVID-19.
• Avoid social gatherings
  Avoid physical meetings, events and other social gatherings in areas with ongoing community transmission and follow local recommendations applicable to mass gatherings.
• Use a face mask
  Wear a face mask indoors and outdoors whenever physical distancing with other people cannot be guaranteed.
