Basic Protective Measures Against The New Coronavirus

Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak, available on the WHO website and through your national and local public health authority. Most people who become infected experience mild illness and recover, but it can be more severe for others. Take care of your health and protect others by doing the following:


Wash your hands frequently

Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.

Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.

Maintain social distancing

Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

Why? When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.



Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth

Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.

Practice respiratory hygiene

Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.

Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.

If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early

Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority.

Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.



Stay informed and follow advice given by your healthcare provider

Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-19. Follow advice given by your healthcare provider, your national and local public health authority or your employer on how to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.

Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on whether COVID-19 is spreading in your area. They are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.



Protection measures for persons who are in or have recently visited (past 14 days) areas where COVID-19 is spreading

  • Follow the guidance outlined above.
  • Stay at home if you begin to feel unwell, even with mild symptoms such as headache and slight runny nose, until you recover. Why? Avoiding contact with others and visits to medical facilities will allow these facilities to operate more effectively and help protect you and others from possible COVID-19 and other viruses.
  • If you develop fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical advice promptly as this may be due to a respiratory infection or other serious condition. Call in advance and tell your provider of any recent travel or contact with travelers. Why? Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also help to prevent possible spread of COVID-19 and other viruses.

5 Unsur Penting Sales Letter

Melanjutkan obrolan tentang sales letter, kira-kira bagian apa lagi yang perlu anda tahu tentang sales letter? Dalam artikel kemarin kita sudah bicarakan headline. Ya, headline itu boleh dibilang fungsinya sama dengan judul. Kenapa? Pertama, jelas fungsinya sama-sama menarik minat pengunjung. Kedua, ya… karena dalam sales letter kita tidak punya kesempatan untuk membuat kalimat mubazir. Semua harus ditujukan untuk penjualan produk. Ooppss! Saya hampir lupa.

Tapi, jika headline yang an...

Seperti Tong Kosong Berbunyi Nyaring... Itulah Minta Maaf Tak Disertai Tindakan

Renungkan sejenak, apakah hanya dengan kita meminta maaf kepada orang lain atas segala kesalahan yang telah dibuat akan menyelesaikan semua persoalan. Janganlah pernah untuk berpikir demikian. Jutaan kata maaf yang meluncur bertubi-tubi bagaikan deras air terjun tak akan mampu menutup kran yang bocor ataupun perahu kayu yang bocor. Berbuatlah sesuatu itulah tindakan yang mampu menyelamatkan keterpurukan yang lebih dalam dari hubungan pertemanan, persahabatan, persaudaraan bahkan keharmonisan keluarga yang retak oleh nilai-nilai kehidupan entah ketidakkepercayaan, ketidakkejujuran, kepalsuan, dan segala nilai keburukan lainnya. Luka yang sudah ditoreh akibat kesalahan yang kita lakukan mestinya diobati dengan ketulusan maaf dan tindakan perbaikan. Ironisnya kita lebih menyukai mengumbar kata maaf kosong dan membiarkan luka hati orang lain semakin menganga akibat tindakan kezaliman kita. Perbedaan tentulah sangat jelas, antara kata-kata yang terucap dengan tindakan yang diperbuat Percaya...
