Protect yourself from Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The best way to prevent the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic illness is by avoiding your exposure to the virus. Clean your hands often, use soap and water for at least 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands more frequently.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands or after being in the public.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a safe distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you’re sick and take help from local health authorities and medical professionals.
Make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Properly dispose the used tissues in the trash, and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Wear a face mask if you are sick or if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. Do not wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.

Apple makes new website and app in partnership with CDC and White House for Coronavirus pandemic


Apple have partnered with CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the White House-led Coronavirus task force along with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to develop a new website and app that includes a set of resources dedicated for the COVID-19 updates in order to help people stay informed and take all necessary steps to protect their health during the ongoing spread of the deadly Coronavirus. With the new screening tools from the platform, you can answer a series of questions surrounding the risk factors, recent exposure as well as symptoms, where in return you will receive recommendations based on the latest guidelines from CDC about social distancing and self-isolating, how to closely monitor the symptoms, whether or not a test is recommended at this time, and more. The new Apple COVID-19 app is now available for iOS users aged 18 or above and can download from App Store, and for those who are on different operating systems can access their newly launched website.
