By The government has instigated a UK-wide campaign offering the public advice on how to stop the spread of the deadly coronavirus after Britain’s confirmed cases.
The advice is on the radio and in print media as well as on social media – itpromotes the importance of hygiene practices in a similar way to the Catch it, Bin it, Kill it campaign used for flu and norovirus.
The public have been told:
- Always carry a tissue to catch coughs and sneezes and bin it after use
- Wash hands with soap and water or use sanitiser gel
- If you have arrived back from China within 14 days, follow the specific advice for returning travellers
Anyone who has travelled from anywhere else in China to the UK (not including Macao or Hong Kong) in the last 14 days, and develops symptoms of cough, fever or shortness of breath, is being told to immediately self-isolate, even if symptoms are minor, and call NHS 111.
