Toolbox Talk #3 – Covid 19
What are the symptoms of COVID-19?

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever and cough.

Other symptoms include headache, sore throat, fatigue, shortness of breath, aches and pains, loss of smell, altered sense of taste, runny nose, chills and vomiting.

Most people infected with COVID-19 will have a mild to moderate illness and will recover without special medical treatment. Some people, such as those with underlying medical problems or disease and older people, are more likely to suffer from more serious symptoms of the diseases.

The most likely way someone will catch the virus is by breathing in micro-droplets a person close to them has released by sneezing, coughing –or just breathing out

A person can, however, also catch it via the hand-to-face pathway: touching a surface where live virus material is present, then touching their mouth, nose or eyes

Spread of COVID-19 is highest from people with symptoms

Spread of COVID-19 before symptoms appear is less common

Anyone who is unwell should not be at a workplace. If anyone develops symptoms at work such as fever, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath, you should ask them to seek medical advice.

A combination of cleaning and disinfection will be most effective in removing the COVID-19 virus.
