Let’s All Follow COVID-19 Countermeasures

The careful actions of every person will help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Let’s all stay away from places where clusters (groups) of infection could happen, for example, such as closed spaces with poor ventilation, crowded places with many people and close-contact personal conversations. Practicing proper cough etiquette and washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water are crucial as well. We would deeply appreciate your continued cooperation.

Washing Hands

As you touch many objects like door knobs and the straps on trains it is possible that the virus is present on them. Frequently wash your hands, upon returning home, before and after cooking and before meals.

Cough Etiquette
Whenever you cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth using a mask, tissue, handkerchief, sleeve or elbow. In addition to practicing this form of health etiquette, avoid going to places where there is a high risk of infection.

Regular Health Maintenance
It is a good idea to raise your immunity level by getting plenty of sleep and eating nutritionally balanced meals, on a regular basis.
