COVID-19: RESPECT THE QUARANTINE!

Friday, 22 de May de 2020 - 17:20

WHO SHOULD BE IN QUARANTINE?

Quarantine is recommended for everyone in general!
Only in this way is it possible to minimise the spread of the virus in the community.

 

HOW LONG IS THE QUARANTINE?

The duration of the isolation must be 14 days.

 

DURING QUARANTINE, STAY ALERT AND PROTECT YOURSELF!

• Measure your body temperature twice a day;
• If you have symptoms, measure your body temperature several times a day and keep a record;
• If you, or anyone close to you, develop any symptoms, call the SNS24 helpline first and do not go to the hospital right away;
• If you live with someone who has symptoms, clothes should be washed separately with the usual detergent at a temperature between 60º and 90ºC. Allow to dry completely.

 

At this stage, it is not possible to test for SARS-CoV2 (Covid-19) every person who has symptoms. Most infected people will experience mild symptoms, which are relieved with paracetamol. So, leave the Health Service for the most serious cases!

 

WHAT MEASURES SHOULD BE TAKEN INSIDE THE HOME TO AVOID PROPAGATION?

• Adopt measures of respiratory etiquette and sneeze into your elbow or disposable tissues, and those around you should do the same;
• Do your shopping online and avoid supermarkets;
• Avoid consuming animal foods, raw or undercooked;
• Keep your room aired and clean the space daily;
• If you share a bathroom, do not share towels;
• If symptoms develop, keep at least 1 metre away from the affected person;

 

HOW SHOULD I CLEAN THE HOUSE?

Daily cleaning is recommended.

 

• Clean surfaces with a commonly used detergent and then disinfect them, for example, with 70° alcohol;
• Clean daily all surfaces of frequent contact such as door handles, tables, switches, taps, toilet, mobile phones and keyboards;
• Use disposable cleaning elements and keep rubbish in a closed bag.

 

 

AVOID PUBLIC PLACES AND DO NOT HAVE GUESTS!

LET'S STOP THIS PANDEMIC!
