Here are some key measures you can take to help cull the spread of COVID-19:
Get vaccinated and stay up-to-date with booster shots if recommended by health authorities. Vaccines significantly reduce the severity of the illness and the risk of transmission.
Wear masks, especially in crowded or indoor settings, as they act as a barrier against respiratory droplets. Ensure proper mask use by covering both your nose and mouth. Also, practice good respiratory hygiene by coughing or sneezing into your elbow or a tissue.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being in public spaces, before eating, or after coughing/sneezing. If soap and water aren’t available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Maintain physical distance from people outside your household, especially in crowded places. Avoid large gatherings or events, and opt for virtual meetings or outdoor activities when possible.
Keep updated with information from reliable sources like the CDC or WHO and follow their guidelines. Stay aware of the situation in your area and adhere to local regulations, recommendations, and advisories regarding COVID-19.
