What To Do To Stay Safe During Covid-19


Covid-19 Stay Safe Tips


Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak, available on the WHO website and through your national and local public health authority.

While research into the COVID-19 virus is ongoing, we know the virus is transmitted through direct contact with respiratory droplets of an infected person (through coughing and sneezing), and touching surfaces contaminated with the virus. The virus may survive on surfaces for a few hours up to several days. The good news? Simple disinfectants can kill it. Now what does this mean for your home?


Personal hygiene

Simple hygiene measures can help protect your family’s health and everyone else's.

Wash your hands frequently

Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.

Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.


Keep your distance

Maintain a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) from people who are coughing or sneezing.

Maintain social distancing

Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

Why? When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.



Don’t touch your face

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.


Don’t cough or sneeze into your hands

Cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or tissue when coughing or sneezing. Dispose of used tissue immediately.

Practice respiratory hygiene

Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.

Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.

16 Countries Around The World Where Prostitution Is Legal

16 Countries that have legalized prostitution around the world For quite a long time now, the oldest job in the world has been regarded as a hateful, fallen option of employment. Despite prohibitions and their legal status, prostitution persists and will continue to occur, for causes such as poverty or unexpected circumstances. Some governments have agreed to completely prohibit the practice, while other nations have sought to regulate prostitution, offering health and social benefits to sex workers.  Some of the countries where prostitution is legal are listed here. 1. Finland  In Finland, prostitution is legal, but it is illegal to sell and purchase sex in public, as well as to purchase or pimp a victim who is trafficked.  Street work is prohibited, but via the Internet and personal advertising, consumers are all available. Cyberspace has also led to an increasing number of foreign sex workers working in Finland through advertisements and massage parlors, in addition to declining str

5 Worst Countries for Dating

5 Countries that could Exacerbate your Love Life Iceland: Accidental Incest  Iceland is a country of very few inhabitants because of all its scenic beauty.

Just imagine going out to a bar, seeing someone beautiful looking your way, and discovering that psycho racist aunt you both described is in fact, one and the same after 30 minutes of talk and some vaguely intimate touching. "Or as one Icelander, Einar Magnusson, puts it, "Everyone's heard the tale of going to a family function and running into a girl you've been tied up with for a while".
