How we can keep ourselves protected?

The guidelines to stay protected are similar to that of other viruses like the cold and flu.The best way to protect yourself is to practise regular and effective handwashing and avoid close contact with anyone showing respiratory illnesses like coughing and sneezing.

We also advise that you avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth unless your hands have been thoroughly washed. If you yourself are coughing and sneezing, protect others by covering your mouth and nose and sneezing into a tissue that you can then throw away.
