Respiratory infections including Coronavirus (COVID-19): staying well and protecting others

How to reduce the risk of respiratory infections including coronavirus (COVID-19) to keep ourselves and each other well.


Keep your distance

Respiratory infections including COVID-19 spread when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, and droplets and aerosols from their mouth or nose are launched into the air.

So, the risk of spreading decreases from person to person as distance is increased.
