The importance of protecting yourself

Little gestures that make all the difference

As a result of the expansion of the coronavirus, there are gestures that we have incorporated into our daily lives and that we will probably keep doing when this is over. These are simple acts that reduce the chances of infection and spreading a virus.

Be careful and take these precautionary measures. Protect yourself and those around you.

Be careful and take these precautionary measures. Protect yourself and those around you.

Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. This is especially important after going to the toilet, touching animals, sneezing or being in contact with sick people or their environment. Remember to always wash your hands before handling food or eating.

Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze with your arm bent or with a disposable tissue, and then wash your hands.

Stay at least six feet away from of other people if you have a cough or a fever and avoid close contact with people with these symptoms.

Follow the authorities’ recommendations and apply common sense. This will give you peace of mind.

Since we realized that we all had to fight the pandemic, we launched different initiatives to which we have donated a total of EUR 35 million.
