- Refrain from shaking hands or hugging when greeting people.
- After your workout, use the disinfectant provided to wipe down the equipment you used to work out.
- Sneeze or cough into the crook of your elbow or a tissue - and then dispose of the tissue in a closed trash can.
- Keep your hands away from your face, avoid touching your mouth, eyes or nose with your hands.
- Keep a distance of 1 - 2 m from people with symptoms of the disease.
