To curb the spread of the community, we continue to avoid places where there are many people inside, preferably maintaining social distance, washing our hands frequently and thoroughly. Anyone who has been ordered an official home quarantine for a stay abroad or for any other reason must strictly comply. Anyone with symptoms should not go to the community but stay home and notify their GP by phone.

The protection of elderly and chronic patients is of the utmost importance. Older people are also asked to pay close attention to themselves and general precautions. Visiting hospitals and nursing homes is prohibited. And nursing home owners should do everything they can to prevent infection.
