To achieve the planetary goal of zero new cases and extinguishing the current COVID-19 pandemic, the following recommendations have been proposed:
- Do The Five:[1]
- Frequent handwashing
- When coughing, use your elbow or a tissue
- Do not touch your face
- Stay more than 3 feet apart from others
- If you feel sick, stay home.
- Limit in-person gatherings to ten people, observing the “Five” rules above [2]
- Lead by example – Expect 100% adherence to the above, both from yourself and from others.[3],[4]
Remember, stay informed, follow local institutional leadership and guidelines, embrace cooperative and collaborative approaches, embrace technological advances such as point-of-care testing and telemedicine, think critically to avoid medical misinformation, and most importantly do not panic.[5],[6],[7],[8] It takes a team to win this war!
