This document provides tips and instructions for using a PowerPoint presentation on self-protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes guidelines on personal protective equipment (PPE), screening procedures, management of suspected and confirmed COVID-19 patients, waste management, and sanitization. Key points covered are proper donning and doffing of PPE, screening criteria for patients, isolation and treatment protocols based on symptom severity, testing strategies, and cleaning/disinfection procedures to prevent transmission.

1. Tips on using my ppt.
1. You can freely download, edit, modify and put your
name etc.
2. Don’t be concerned about number of slides. Half the
slides are blanks except for the title.
3. First show the blank slides (eg. Aetiology ) > Ask
students what they already know about ethology of
today's topic. > Then show next slide which enumerates
aetiologies.
4. At the end rerun the show – show blank> ask questions >
show next slide.
5. This will be an ACTIVE LEARNING SESSION x
three revisions.
6. Good for self study also.
7. See notes for bibliography.
