#PhysicalDistancing helps limit the spread of #COVID19 – this means we keep a distance of at least 1m from each other and avoid spending time in crowded places or in groups.

Protect yourself and others.  #BreakTheChain of transmission.

We do not always know who may be sick with #coronavirus.  

That’s why it’s important to #StayHome and practice #PhysicalDistancing. If we must go out, e.g. to buy groceries or for medical reasons, we should stay at least 1m away from others. 

➡️ bit.ly/2UMCPwp
Staying at home as much as possible is the right thing to do now. Limiting gatherings with people outside your household – like group activities and religious events – can reduce the spread of #COVID19.

Protect yourself and others. Do your part. #StayHome.
