The Ministry of Health says it will continue to provide accurate information to the public in a timely fashion. The public is therefore urged to disregard and avoid sharing all unconfirmed, misleading and/or false information about COVID-19 (formerly Novel Coronavirus).

 Members of the public are also asked to take the following personal hygiene measures to protect themselves and their loved ones from COVID-19:

o   Wash your hands properly with soap and water

§  use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if water and soap are not available

o   Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze

§  Dispose of tissue immediately after using

§  Cough and sneeze into the crook of your elbow if you do not have a tissue

o   Avoid touching your face

o   Stay home if you are ill

§  Avoid close contact with people who have flu-like symptoms

The Ministry of Health remains committed to delivering quality health care and providing up-to-date and accurate information to the Trinidad and Tobago population.
