COVID-19: Six Ways To Protect Yourself Against The Coronavirus Disease

As the Lagos State Government confirmed the first case of Coronavirus (Covid-19), the state ministry of health has advised Lagosians and indeed, all Nigerians to take the following precautionary measures forthwith:

1) Regularly and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water, and use alcohol-based hand sanitiser.

2. Maintain at least 1.5metres (5 feet) distance between you and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

3) People coughing persistently or sneezing should stay indoors or keep a social distance, but not mix with a crowd.

4) Ensure that you and people around you follow good respiratory hygiene by covering mouths and noses with a handkerchief or tissue while sneezing or coughing. You can also sneeze or cough into your sleeve at the bent elbow. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.

5) Stay indoors if you feel unwell with symptoms, such as fever, cough and difficulty in breathing.
