Good Practices with the MUG

13.08.2020

As part of #goodpracticeswiththeMUG series, let’s remind ourselves the basic principles that will help us return to earlier functioning faster. Let’s act responsibly in order to take care of ourselves and others.

#1 Germs tend to survive on surfaces of our smartphones. Viruses could be easily transferred between fingers and glass surfaces. It’s good to remember to regularly clean our phones, for example with an alcohol wet wipe or another disinfectant.

#2 During the day, our hands touch many surfaces that may be contaminated with the virus. Refrain from hugs, kissing and shaking hands while greeting.

#3 All objects that we often use should be carefully disinfected. Touch surfaces including desks, light switches, door handles, handrails should be regularly wiped with water and detergent or a disinfectant.

#4 Keep at least 1.5 meters distance with the person you are talking to face to face who is coughing, sneezing or has a fever.

#5 There may be viruses and bacteria on the surface of banknotes and coins. If possible, use payment cards and electronic banking.

#6 We touch many surfaces that may be contaminated with the virus. Touching your eyes, nose or mouth with contaminated hands can cause the virus to spread from the surface onto the organism.

#7 When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a bent elbow or a handkerchief. Covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing prevents the spread of germs, including viruses. Remember to wear the mask in designated places.

#8 Follow a balanced diet. Remember to eat minimum 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Hydrate your body by drinking approx. 2 liters of liquid daily (preferably water).

#9 Scientific knowledge is the most effective tool in the fight against coronavirus. Remember to use reliable sources of information based on scientific evidence, which are published on the websites.

#10 Stimulants weaken the body’s immunity. People who smoke or drink alcohol are more prone to infections, so limit stimulants and take care of immune system.

#11 Let’s remember to wash hands frequently with soap and water or disinfect them with alcohol-based liquids / gels (min. 60%). Frequent hand washing reduces the risk of infection.

#12 Let’s remember about regular physical activity. Reasonable and systematic workout has a positive effect on our health and immune system.
