World Health Day may just be one day, but it is a day that needs to remind us of the importance of health as something that needs to be a part of everything we do.
Stay healthy by protecting yourself and others:
Wash your hands regularly with plenty of soap and water.
Keep an alcohol-based sanitizer ready for times when soap and water are not available.
Don’t touch your eyes, mouth or nose with unclean hands.
Keep your distance of at least 1 meter from anyone coughing or sneezing.
Follow no-touch greeting for no germs contracted or Hand waving over handshake.
Don’t sneeze or cough into your hands. Use a tissue and throw it away immediately, or sneeze in the inner side of your elbow.
Don’t travel or visit crowded places if you’re sick.
Do wear a mask if you’re sick and if you are taking care of someone with the symptoms.
