Recommended preventive measures of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic against infection COVID-19.
It is important to proceed as in a classical respiratory disease, as in the current flu period:
- avoid those who are obviously ill
- observe basic hygienic rules
- use disinfection, for example, when in contact with people suffering from acute respiratory problems
- not to be in places with higher numbers of people
- individuals suffering from respiratory disease should observe the rules of respiratory hygiene - ie when sneezing and coughing properly take, preferably disposable handkerchiefs, when coughing and sneezing cover their mouths with arms / sleeves, not hands! (droplets can then pass on)
- of course, health professionals themselves should protect themselves, as it is they who are most in contact with patients
