How to prevent a coronavirus infection?

The same as with other infectious diseases that cause upper respiratory tract infections, the following daily precautionary measures should be observed in order to prevent infections with the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus:

• Avoid close contact with people who show signs of an infectious disease, keeping a distance of at least 1.5 metres.
• Do not touch your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• If you fall ill, stay at home.
• Observe the cough and sneeze etiquette.
• Regularly wash your hands using soap and water.
• If you do not have access to soap and water, use a hand sanitiser. The hand sanitiser should contain at least 60% alcohol. The hand sanitiser is for external use only. Cleaning and disinfection agents for surfaces are not appropriate for the cleaning and disinfection of skin.
• In light of the current epidemiological situation, a general use of protective masks is not required.
• At a time when respiratory infections are common amongst the population, avoid closed spaces with large numbers of people. Regularly ventilate closed spaces.
