The first thing we all have to do to stop the virus in its tracks, is to exercise good hygiene. This means washing our hands regularly with soap and water for up to 20 seconds or more. Stop touching your face, and remember to sanitise often when coming into contact with people, objects, shopping bags, etc.

The virus isn't airborne, but when an infected person coughs, sneezes or touches anything, the virus can be transmitted. Let's make sure we observe a safe distance between ourselves and the next person to avoid infection. In fact, the best way to protect yourself and others, is to avoid groups altogether and just stay home. That's the safest place.

The road to recovery is going to be long and tough. It's going to be especially hard for the old, a compromised immune system, and the poor. As the virus spreads disease, fear, mistrust and contempt, we can beat it together with solidarity, by spreading kindness and consideration.
