Stay safe—follow the DDMA principle

Our health depends on mutual responsibility. Everyone can influence how quickly the epidemic is brought under control. How can we do this? Simply follow the DDMA principle, which helps us protect ourselves and others:

  • D for distance
  • D for disinfection
  • M for mask
  • A for the STOP COVID—ProteGO Safe app

Keeping at least 1.5 metres away from other people, washing hands frequently with soap and water and disinfecting them, as well as covering the mouth and nose in public spaces, are basic measures that help reduce the risk of coronavirus infection.

The STOP COVID—ProteGO Safe app also supports efforts to combat the threat. It is completely safe, free and voluntary. Importantly, the more people use it, the faster and more effectively we can limit the pace and spread of coronavirus.
