How can I protect our families and child during this special period?

Top hygieve practice is the backbone of the protection, make sure you always wash and sanatize your hand, this could be a trouble to get use to but you are doing your best to protect your loved ones.

Avoid exposure to busy public area, this can lower your risk of getting the sickness from other people and also make sure you clean and sanatise yourself when you back home.

Wear protection masks, this is very important when you are out. You might look silly and it's a bit unconfortable, but this is the best way to protect yourself at public area when situation gets worse.
