Transfer of the NEW CORONO (COVID-19)

Transmission by an asymptomatic person who can carry the virus is very low.

There is also a low risk of transmission of the virus through faeces.

• Use an antiseptic alcoholic solution.
• When coughing or sneezing, use disposable napkins and dispose of used napkins in a closed trash bin or use the inside of your elbow.
