The government asks for your cooperation in four areas

1. Avoid handshakes
2. Clean and disinfect your hands properly
3. Avoid mass gatherings
4. If you have symptoms, or if you’ve been away in the last days, keep yourself away from others and stay in your room for 14 days

“This is a national responsibility and we need your cooperation”
