Physical distancing helps limit the spread of #COVID19 – this means we keep a distance of at least 1m from each other and avoid spending time in crowded places or in groups. Protect yourself and others. Break the chain of transmission.
Staying at home as much as possible is the right thing to do now. Limiting gatherings with people outside your household – like group activities and religious events – can reduce the spread of #COVID19.
Protect yourself and others. Do your part. #StayHome
