your mask on, as well as before
and after you take it off, and after
you touch it at any time.
Make sure it covers both your
nose, mouth and chin.
When you take off a mask, store it
in a clean plastic bag, and every
day either wash it if it’s a fabric
mask, or dispose of a medical
mask in a trash bin.
Don’t use masks with valves.

About
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an
infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2
virus.
Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will
experience mild to moderate symptoms and
recover without special treatment. However,
some will become seriously ill and require
medical attention.
7. ● According to WHO, there is no confirmed
timeline how long a COVID-19 virus survives
in surfaces. However, most likely it behaves
like other coronaviruses. Studies show that
coronaviruses can survive on surfaces for a
few hours up to several days depending on
varied conditions (e.g. type of surface,
temperature or humidity of the environment).
If you suspect that a surface is infected, clean it
with disinfectant; clean your hands with alcohol-
based hand sanitizer or wash them with soap and
water; and if possible, minimize touching your
eyes, mouth or nose.
