  • Maintain good personal hygiene, and wash hands after sneezing, coughing or cleaning the nose
  • Avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth. If necessary, wash hands before touching them
  • Maintain good ventilation
  • Avoid visiting crowded places with poor ventilation
  • Consult their doctor promptly if they develop respiratory symptoms

It is particularly important that public transport companies and operators ensure good ventilation and cleanliness in the vehicle compartment and station facilities. Specific advice on the prevention of diseases is highlighted below:
