In times of a health crisis, it’s more important than ever to know how to keep yourself safe from germs when you go to work.
In a pandemic situation, it’s vital that we pay attention to the health experts from reputable Public Health organizations, such as World Health Organization, so we can be sure we are using evidenced-based techniques to protect ourselves and our loved-ones from exposure to infectious diseases that spread so easily in the community.
Here’s what you can do to protect yourself:
1. Wash Your Hands Frequently And Thoroughly:
