How can you prevent transmission of diseases such as #COVID19? Disinfect objects/surfaces that are frequently touched (doorknobs, faucet handles, keyboards, etc.). If disinfection products are unavailable, use a mix of 1-part bleach and 9-parts water. ow.ly/yWLY50yE3Ss

Some people are more vulnerable to complications from #COVID19 including people with pre-existing conditions and people over the age of 80. We all have a responsibility to stay home when we're sick; don't visit care homes or hospitals when you feel unwell.

How can you protect your family and yourself from #COVID19? Avoid touching your face. Hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and make you sick. Wash your hands regularly. More info: ow.ly/go4u50yE3gu #coronavirus
