In challenging times like these, mutual consideration and responsibility are more important than ever. Even though everyday life has been turned upside down for many people, even small actions can make a big difference – for your health and that of others.

That’s why we’ve put together a few simple but effective tips for you on how you can protect yourself and others:

💛 Support older and vulnerable people

Elderly or health-impaired neighbors are particularly at risk. Offer to do their shopping, pick up medication, or run errands for them. A small act of kindness can save lives.

---

🚫 Limit personal contact

Avoid unnecessary face-to-face meetings wherever possible. Even if it’s difficult: the fewer contacts we have, the slower the virus spreads.

---

🏡 Work from home if possible

Talk to your employer about the option of working from home. Many tasks can now be done digitally – protecting you, your colleagues, and your family.

---

↔️ Keep your distance

If you need to leave the house, make sure to keep a distance of at least 2 meters (6 feet) from others – whether you’re out walking, shopping, or in a stairwell.

---

🤧 Don’t forget hygiene

Cough or sneeze into your elbow, not your hands.

Avoid touching your face – especially your mouth, nose, and eyes.

Wash your hands thoroughly for at least 30 seconds with soap and warm water – before leaving your home and right after coming back.
