What can patients do to protect themselves?
The best way to protect yourself from COVID-19 is to use the same everyday strategies recommended to prevent the spread of similar illnesses like the common cold or the flu:
- Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly
- Wear a mask when outside the home, and during any interaction with healthcare professionals
- Stay home if you are sick.
- Practice social distancing
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue and immediately throw it away. If a tissue is unavailable, use your bent elbow.
- Avoid touching your face.
- Clean frequently touched surfaces in your home with a household disinfectant
What is the proper technique for hand washing?
- Wet hands with clean running water (hot or cold), turn off tap and apply soap.
- Lather hands by rubbing together with soap. Lather the backs of hands, between fingers, and under nails.
- Scrub for at least 20 seconds. How do you know you are done? Sing Happy Birthday two times through.
- Turn on water using forearm or elbow
- Rinse hands well.
- Turn off tap with forearm or elbow to avoid recontamination
- Dry hands using a clean towel or air-dry.
Note: If soap and water are not readily available, alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol may be used.
