Responsibility not only for yourself but also for others

In order not to infect yourself and not to infect others, it is necessary to understand that all people are interconnected by invisible social plexuses, and the infection moves in these ways. When a person takes care to prevent disease, not to infect others, he automatically protects himself better, that is: I will prevent infection, they will prevent infection, I will avoid infection, I and my family and friends will not be exposed to danger. Today we must be responsible not only for ourselves but also for others to avoid getting COVID-19.

 To avoid infection and prevent the spread of a viral infection, follow these simple guidelines:

– in all public places, use face masks (the mask must be properly worn, i.e. fit snugly to the face, sewn mask on the nose bent along the contour, all folds straightened), because the disease is transmitted by airborne and contact-household (when exposed to the virus on the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, and eyes) change the mask every 2-3 hours, do not reuse the mask. It is not advisable to wear a mask in a deserted open space;

– keep a social distance;
