With covid19 cases still rising, here are a few guidelines on community physical distancing:

Member States, at all levels of government, should maintain and intensify prominent public messaging about individual physical distancing, particularly:

• Use non-contact greetings.

• Practice good hand and respiratory hygiene.

• Enhance environmental hygiene, especially of frequently touched public surfaces (e.g. public and private taps, elevator buttons, handrails, doorknobs, shopping carts, etc.).

• Maintain one metre distance when in public places and where feasible.

• Stay home if you are ill, except to obtain medical care. While at home, wear a medical mask, and isolate yourself from other people in your household as much as possible, especially the elderly or other vulnerable people.
If you need to leave home to seek medical care, you should wear a medical mask, and perform hand hygiene frequently.

You should seek immediate medical care if you have high fever and shortness of breath.
