The Covid-19 coronavirus, declared by the World Health Organization as an international emergency, appears to be spreading rapidly in Europe as well, with more than 100 cases reported in Italy. This necessitates the dissemination of any information in the interests of its protection. To prevent coronavirus:
1. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or clean them by rubbing them with alcohol-based cleaners.
2. When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with an elbow socket or a handkerchief. Pour the paper scarf into the trash can immediately and then wash your hands.
3. Avoid close contact with anyone with a fever and cough.
4. Tell your doctor if you have a cough, fever or difficulty breathing and report travel history if you have traveled recently.
5. Avoid unnecessary contact with live animals or their products and wash your hands if you have had contact. Meat, raw milk and animal organs should be well processed.
6. Do not stay indoors with many people (such as in urban areas).
7. Use masks.
8. Contact your doctor if you have been in contact with people who have been reported infected with Covid-19 coronavirus.
9. If you have the following symptoms, call National Emergency Number 127.
