Director General of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has urged all to strictly adhere to seven health guidelines to ensure safety, amid a rise in COVID-19 cases in neighboring countries, also in the country.
Director General Dr Abu Jafor came up with the call while speaking at a press briefing at the DGHS on Wednesday.
The guidelines include the following:
●Avoid crowded places and wear a mask when going outside.
●Refrain from touching your eyes, mouth or nose with unwashed hands.
●Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds regularly to stay protected from the coronavirus.
●Maintain at least a three-foot distance from any infected person nearby.
●Cover the mouth and nose with a tissue or elbow during coughing or sneezing.
●Throw used tissue into basket
●Avoid infected persons' touch
Those eligible can receive their booster shots by visiting the nearest vaccination center, Abu Jafor added.
