  • COVID-19, which causes respiratory illness, first appeared in China in December/January 2019 and spread to over 100 countries, including South Africa. The World Health Organisation has classified it as a 'pandemic'.
  • The groups at highest risk of severe illness include elderly people, individuals with weak immune systems, and healthcare workers. In South Africa, risk is further increased for people with HIV, tuberculosis (TB), diabetes, and heart disease.
  • The virus is transmitted from person to person via droplets from the nose and mouth when an infected person coughs or sneezes; these droplets can survive on surfaces for a long time. Symptoms include coughing, sore throat, shortness of breath, and occasionally fever.
  • Preventative measures include staying home during lockdowns, maintaining a distance of 2 metres (three steps), and frequent handwashing for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or a 70% alcohol-based sanitizer. People are advised not to touch their eyes, nose, or mouth.
  • For those without running water, the document suggests creating a hand-washing station using a 5-litre bucket with a tap or constructing a 'tippy tap' with a foot lever.
