• Work from home where you can. If you must leave your house for essential work, wear your mask.
• Do not visit friends or family or have them visit your home.
• Defer any non-essential health care such as eye checks. Don’t go to the doctor or pharmacy unless you have to. If you are sick, call the doctor first, and send someone who is well to get medicines.
• Only one person from your home should go shopping, and only for essential shopping for as short a time as possible. Wear a mask when shopping.
