Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Small public gatherings
I am ATTENDING a small gathering or an event such as a wedding, a party or sports tournament. What precautions should I take to protect myself and others from getting infected with COVID-19?
1. Always check local regulations before attending an event.
2. Stay at home if you are feeling unwell.
3. Always comply with the following 3 basic preventive measures:
*Maintain at least 1 meter distance from others, and wear a mask if you cannot guarantee this distance.
*Cover a sneeze or cough with a tissue or bent elbow, and immediately dispose of tissue in a closed-lid bin. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.
*Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, or with a hand sanitizer.
