Dutch measures against coronavirus: basic rules for everyone

Together, we need to keep hold of the control we have gained over the virus since March. This is only possible if everyone follows certain basic rules.

Basic rules for everyone

For everyone in the Netherlands:

• If you have symptoms, get tested as soon as possible and stay at home.
• Stay 1.5 metres away from other people.
• Wash your hands often.
• Cough and sneeze into your elbow.
• Work from home if possible.
• Avoid busy places and travel outside peak hours if possible.

Hygiene

• Wash your hands often.
• • Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds, then dry them thoroughly.
  • Wash your hands: before you go out, when you return home, after blowing your nose and of course before meals and after going to the toilet.
• Cough and sneeze into your elbow.
• Use paper tissues to blow your nose and discard them after use.
• • Then wash your hands.
• Don’t shake hands with others.

The 1.5 metre rule

• Stay 1.5 metres (2 arms lengths) away from other people.
• • This applies to everyone over the age of 18: in the street, in shops and other buildings and at work – even if you are a key worker. It does not apply to family members or other people that you live with. And it does not apply if you are providing assistance to someone, for example pushing a wheelchair.
  • Keeping a distance of 1.5 metres reduces the chance of people infecting each other.
• Leave if you notice it is becoming difficult to keep a distance of 1.5 metres.

Together we have to try to comply to these rules, to avoid that our safetyregion stops the show.

Stay safe!!
