Stay Safe from COVID-19


Dear JFLS Member

COVID-19 has plunged the world into an unprecedented emergency. No nation, and no individual, is safe from this virus, and it can be stopped only if all nations and individuals come together for the common good. We are all in this together, and it will take all of us to overcome this.

Society of Fisheries and Life Sciences, College of Fisheries, Mangaluru, Karnataka wishes good health to you and your loved ones during these challenging times. We urge everyone to follow all recommended safety measures and practice social distancing until this crisis passes.

During day-to-day activities, people can take the following measures to prevent infection, in accordance with WHO guidelines:

  1. Clean the hands regularly with an alcohol-based sanitizer, or wash them with soap and water. The CDC also makes this recommendation, advising that sanitizer should contain “at least 60% alcohol” and that people should wash their hands for at least 20 seconds.
  2. Clean surfaces — such as kitchen sets and work desks — regularly with disinfectant.
  3. Avoid crowded areas when going out, for people over 60 years old and people with any underlying health problems.
  4. Try to avoid close contact with people who display flu-like symptoms, including coughing and sneezing.
  5. Get accurate information about COVID-19. Some good sources include the Pan American Health Organization and WHO websites.
