- Preventative measures include staying home under lockdown laws, maintaining a distance of two meters from others, washing hands with soap for 20 seconds or using 70% alcohol hand sanitiser, and avoiding touching the eyes, nose, and mouth.
- For symptom management, the document recommends paracetamol for fever but advises against using ibuprofen as it may worsen the condition.
