Frequent hand washing with soap under running water is one of the most effective ways to stop spread of diseases like #COVID19 that are transmitted via person-to-person contact or by touching contaminated surfaces.

#TakeResponsibility to keep yourself & loved ones safe & healthy

Remember, there is no scientific evidence that disinfectant tags often known as ‘Air Doctor’ can protect people against #COVID19.

Read our advisory on the use of 'Air Doctor' by the public to prevent #COVID19.

#TakeResponsibility

Do not use a face shield without a face mask. A face shield alone cannot prevent the spread of infectious diseases like #COVID19.

Remember to:
✅ Wear a face mask
✅ Wash your hands with soap under running water
✅ Cough/sneeze into your elbow

#TakeResponsibility

Cloth masks provide protection when properly worn & cared for.

✅ Wear mask covering your nose & mouth
✅ Handle mask with clean hands
✅ Wash cloth face masks after each use

Everyone has a role to play to reduce the spread of #COVID19 during the election

Quite a number of people who are infected with #COVID19 are #ASYMPTOMATIC but can spread the disease to others.

✅ Wear YOUR face mask PROPERLY
✅ COUGH/SNEEZE into your ELBOW
✅ Practice HAND HYGIENE

📢 IVR Self-Assessment Tool

DO NOT ignore your symptoms. A sudden loss of taste/smell, cough or fever may be #COVID19.

Please dial *258*258# for the COVID-19 self-assessment tool if you suspect that you or a loved one may have been exposed to #COVID19.

#TakeResponsibility

The risk of getting infected with #COVID19 is higher when we don't wear #facemask to public places.

#Wear your facemask properly at all times. Adhere to all non pharmaceutical preventive measures of #COVID19.
#StaySafe

If you MUST gather to worship in the MOSQUE today, take PREVENTIVE MEASURES to PROTECT yourself & loved ones.

Remember, you can come in contact with infected people with no symptoms in the mosque.

Wear a face mask & don't share personal items.

#TakeResponsibility

Elderly persons especially those who are living with health conditions such as Diabetes, Cancer & Hypertension are advised not to travel during the #COVID19 pandemic.

#TakeResponsibility & adhere to all non pharmaceutical preventive measures of #COVID19 if you must travel.

WEARING a face mask WRONGLY is as good as NOT wearing a mask AT ALL.

Remember during elections, you can come in contact with infected people with no symptoms at polling stations.

#TakeResponsibility to keep yourself & loved ones safe.
