First, you need accurate information to protect you and your family from infection. Listen to guidance from the authorities and share accurate information on how to prevent transmission between individuals and within communities.

What you need to pay attention to is actually the same as preparing for emergencies in general, namely:

• Make sure household members who are on medication have enough supplies for 30 days
• Prepare food supplies for at least 3 days
• Prepare a supply of soap and water to wash your hands with soap
• Find out about your school or workplace emergency response plan and stay up-to-date
• Share your contact number with family, friends and neighbors just in case when needed
