DID YOU KNOW?

The virus that causes #COVID19 can live on surfaces for several hours

⚫Limit or avoid sharing personal items
⚫Avoid touching high-contact surfaces like door handles & stair rails
⚫Clean all surfaces with soap & water or disinfectants

#TakeResponsibility

#COVID19 is caused by a virus NOT bacteria.

Antibiotics should only be used in the treatment of bacterial infections as prescribed by a physician.

Misuse of antibiotics could make the bacteria resistant to them & infections harder to cure.
