Don't miss your slot. Go to the vaccination centre following proper social distancing norms and while wearing a double mask. Follow COVID appropriate behavior. 1. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 70% alcohol if soap and water are not available. 2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands 3. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. 4. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. 5. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing and have a fever. 6. Wear cloth face coverings such as a mask in public settings, especially where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. 7. Ensure regular hand washing with soap and potable water after touching animals and animal products 8. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with hands; Avoid contact with sick animals or spoiled animal products. 9. Strictly avoid any contact with other animals in the market (e.g., stray cats and dogs, rodents, birds, bats). 10.
