not possible, maintain a distance of at least 1,5 metres from other persons.
• Eat and sleep separately and use a separate bathroom, if available. This isolation room should be
well ventilated.
• Do not have visitors in your room (especially older people and persons with chronic diseases).
Where necessary have one identified family member wearing protective equipment to support you.

2. PREVENT THE SPREAD OF INFECTION

• Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, before and after eating, after using toilet, after sneezing/coughing and when entering or leaving the room and house
• When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose
with disposable tissue and throw it away after one use (and then wash your hands) or use the inside of your elbow.
• Have separate personal items like towels, toothbrushes, cups & dishes (wash it with detergent and water after each use).
• Throw away waste separately.
• Wash clothes and linen at > 60°C.
• Clean the following areas once daily with soap and water or a disinfectant (such as bleach) :
- the patient room, including bathroom & toilet,
- the surfaces and objects like doorknobs phones, remote controls, used by the patient.
• Wear a mask whenever sharing a space with other people. Wash your hands after removing the mask. Avoid touching the mask while wearing it.

3. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
