The State Sanitary Inspection issued an appeal to Poles, in which it reminds us of what to do to minimize the risk of coronavirus infection.

The Chief Sanitary Inspector issued a special appeal to Poles, in which he reminds them of compliance with hygiene rules. The appeal was issued in connection with the increasing number of coronavirus infections in Poland.

- We recommend avoiding participation in mass events and not traveling, especially to countries with a high risk of contracting coronavirus. Coronavirus is susceptible to lipid solvents, which means that washing your hands thoroughly with water and plain soap or detergent for at least 30 seconds is crucial to contain the spread of the coronavirus, the appeal reads.

The State Sanitary Inspection underlines the importance ofwashing handsfor a reason. It is not necessary to use an antibacterial gel - ordinary soap is enough. Hands should be washed thoroughly, including wrists, and as often as possible. What to do if we feel worse?

- If you feel unwell, especially with fever and other flu-like symptoms, we encourage you to refrain from going out and meeting other people - all this so as not to spread the viruses and bacteria further. It is also worth taking an interest in the fate of the neighbors.

- Please provide special care to the elderly and other people with reduced immunity. In particular, it is about helping with everyday activities, such as shopping, supplying medicines, dealing with official matters, as well as simply talking - we read in the appeal.

What to do if you suspect you are developing COVID-19 disease caused by the coronavirus?

- We urge you to use only proven sources of information about coronavirus, which can be found on the websites of public institutions, at: www.gis.gov.pl, gov.pl/koronawirus and by calling the free NFZ 800 helpline 190-590. Sanitary services and he alth care work around the clock and make every effort to ensure he alth safety in Poland. We call for rational and responsible behavior and compliance with the recommendations of sanitary services and medical professionals - we read in the appeal.

It is important that in case of suspicion of disease firstcall the he alth department and find out what to do next. Going to a doctor at a local clinic or emergency room will only cause the virus to spread further. We recommend that you have a supply of basic fever-lowering medications and medications at home that you take constantly.
