Some tips for staying healthy:

• Wash your hands regularly and for at least 20seconds with soap
• Keep your hands out of your mouth!  The virus needs to get inside your body to makeyou sick and this means there is more of a chance of this happening.
• Limit contact with others if you have just metor unsure if they are unwell
• While we all need to live our lives, re-thinkattending concerts and sporting events where there is a greater chance of thevirus spreading quickly.
• Eat healthy and drink plenty of water.
