How do I look after myself and my community? To limit the risk of catching or spreading coronavirus follow these steps: Follow the social distancing rules (as explained on previous page) Wash your hands with soap and water often for at least 20 seconds. If there is no soap in the hostel talk to a member of staff immediately. Turn the tap off with a tissue. Always wash your hands when you go in or out of your hostel and other buildings. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze. Toilet paper will do - if this is not available in your accommodation, then ask staff. Put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth unless your hands are clean. Do not have visitors to your room – if you need something get them to leave it at the door Do not shake dirty laundry – this can spread the virus. Use your elbows, arms and shoulders to open doors instead of your hands. If you have a dog or another pet, keep it away from other people and other pets. Don’t share cigarettes, pipes or drink from the same bottles and cans Manage Cookie Preferences
