Nurse Sally's Coronavirus Tips

Well, the coronavirus (or Covid-19, as the disease is properly known) has been in the news for a while now, and you’ve probably heard everyone (politicians, news reporters, doctors, random people, your pet hamster…) talking about it a lot.

Most people seem to be dealing with it by panicking, or buying an awful lot of toilet paper, or both… or just carrying on as usual and shrugging. None of these measures are particularly effective, so…

In this time of panic, woe (OK, maybe not so much woe for you kids off school) and no toilet paper, here’s Nurse Sally and Smiley Lemon with some positive words about how to stay safe:

Tip 1: Don’t touch your face (or anyone else’s, for that matter)

Tip 2: Wash your hands/paws/claws/whatever regularly.

Tip 3: Stay away from people!
