The document outlines the nature of Covid-19, identifies high-risk groups in South Africa, and provides detailed hygiene and social distancing instructions to prevent transmission.

• Covid-19 is a virus that attacks the lungs and nose, originating in China in February 2019 before spreading to over 100 countries, including South Africa. The World Health Organisation has classified it as a pandemic because it spreads rapidly and affects the entire world.
• High-risk groups for infection and severe illness include the elderly, people with poor health, healthcare workers, and individuals with pre-existing conditions such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, diabetes, and heart disease.
• The virus spreads through droplets from the mouth or nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and these droplets can remain on surfaces for a period of time.
• Preventative measures include staying home under lockdown regulations, maintaining a distance of two steps from others, cleaning frequently touched surfaces, and washing hands with soap for 20 seconds or using a hand sanitiser with 60% alcohol.
• For symptom management, paracetamol (Panado) is recommended for fever, while there is concern that ibuprofen may worsen the condition.
