Staying
Though it may seem as there may
be no end to the current climate,
every effort counts towards the
fight against Covid-19.
Here are a few key things to note:
Stay AT HOME
We are not stuck at home; we are safe at home.
As much as possible, limit going outdoors. When
leaving home, do follow proper safety protocol
such as wearing a mask and limiting the number
of persons from your household.
Wear A MASK
Wearing masks should become part of our normal
routine and is essential to saving lives. To be
effective, one must not overlook the appropriate
use, storage and cleaning or disposal of masks.
Here are the basics of how to wear a mask outlined
by the World Health Organisation (WHO):
• Clean your hands before you put your mask on, as
well as before and after you take it off, and after you
touch it at any time.
• Make sure it covers your nose, mouth and chin.
• When you take off a mask, store it in a clean plastic
bag, and every day either wash it if it’s a fabric mask,
or dispose of a medical mask in a trash bin.
• Don’t use masks with valves.
STAY Informed
BE Responsible
Safe
As the world continues to learn and evolve during
the COVID-19 pandemic, we face the challenge
of possible information overload. Unfortunately,
not all information is accurate, and some may be
potentially harmful. Always ensure any information
received is verified facts and advice from credible
sources, such as our local health authority or the
WHO. Stopping the spread of false information
starts with us. If you see content online that you
believe to be false or misleading, you can report it
to the hosting social media platform.
At any time, if you develop a fever, cough or difficulty
breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
Knowing your status earlier helps prevent a wider
spread. Let us not forget that the pandemic will come
to an end one day and that we all play a critical role in
seeing it come to fruition.
“Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood.
Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear
less.” — Marie Curie
