Protection measures for persons who are in or have recently visited (past 14 days)
areas where COVID-19 is spreading
Follow the guidance - Self-isolate by staying at home if you begin to feel unwell, even with mild symptoms such as headache, low
grade fever (37.5 C or above) and slight runny nose, until you recover. If it is essential for you to have someone bring you supplies or
to go out, e.g. to buy food, then wear a mask to avoid infecting other people.
WHY?
Avoiding contact with others and visits to medical facilities will allow these facilities to operate more effectively and help protect you
and others from possible COVID19 and other viruses.
If you develop fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical advice promptly as this may be due to a respiratory infection or
other serious condition. Call in advance and tell your provider of any recent travel or contact with travellers.
WHY?
Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also help to prevent
possible spread of COVID-19 and other viruses.
