Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) advice for the public

 

Protect yourself and others from the spread COVID-19

You can reduce your chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19 by taking some simple precautions:

  • Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
  • Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and others. Why? When someone coughs, sneezes, or speaks they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person has the disease.
  • Avoid going to crowded places. Why? Where people come together in crowds, you are more likely to come into close contact with someone that has COVID-19 and it is more difficult to maintain physical distance of 1 metre (3 feet).
  • Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and infect you.
  • Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately and wash your hands. Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene, you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.
  • Stay home and self-isolate even with minor symptoms such as cough, headache, mild fever, until you recover. Have someone bring you supplies. If you need to leave your house, wear a mask to avoid infecting others. Why? Avoiding contact with others will protect them from possible COVID-19 and other viruses.
  • If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention, but call by telephone in advance if possible and follow the directions of your local health authority. Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.
  • Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources, such as WHO or your local and national health authorities. Why? Local and national authorities are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.

 

Safe use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers

To protect yourself and others against COVID-19, clean your hands frequently and thoroughly. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer or wash your hands with soap and water. If you use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, make sure you use and store it carefully.

    • Keep alcohol-based hand sanitizers out of children’s reach. Teach them how to apply the sanitizer and monitor its use.
    • Apply a coin-sized amount on your hands. There is no need to use a large amount of the product.
    • Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose immediately after using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, as it can cause irritation.
    • Hand sanitizers recommended to protect against COVID-19 are alcohol-based and therefore can be flammable. Do not use before handling fire or cooking.
    • Under no circumstance, drink or let children swallow an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. It can be poisonous. 
    • Remember that washing your hands with soap and water is also effective against COVID-19.

At this time of year when the cold and flu season is at its peak, my children usually take turns to bring home a few rounds of sicknesses from school.

새로워진 한식의 부상

  한국의 탑셰프들, 전통과 역사가 풍부한 최상의 요리로 국내외 ‘한식 물결’ 일으키다 한식은 세계에서 가장 생동감 넘치는 음식 문화 중 하나이다. 풍부한 색감과 식감, 셀 수 없이 많은 반찬 가지 수, 매운 찌개, 강렬한 발효 맛을 특징으로 한다. 그러나 이렇게 특별한 한식은 종종 더 잘 알려진 이웃 나라인 중국과 일본에 밀려 국내에서 소비되는 일상적인 음식으로 과소평가되곤 했다. 그러나 지난 10년 동안 창의적인 신세대 셰프들이 등장했고, 이들은 친숙한 한국의 맛에 글로벌한 기술을 접목시킴으로써, 서울의 한식을 새로운 방향으로 이끌어가고 있다. 이들 셰프는 사람들이 식사를 경험하는 방식을 바꾸면서, 지역 농산물에도 주목하고 있다. 새로워진 한식은 국내에서 반향을 일으키고 있을 뿐만 아니라 해외에서도 호응을 얻고 있다. 한국 요리의 정수를 선보이다 한식 요리로 최고의 권위를 차지하고 있는 곳은 미쉐린 3스타 레스토랑 ‘가온’이다.  ‘가온’이라는 캔버스에 장식, 음악, 맛을 통해 한반도의 문화와 역사를 그려내고 있다. 그는 조선왕조 시대의 요리를 가온의 정제되고 고급스러운 느낌으로 발전시키기 위해 두꺼운 한국 역사책을 깊이 연구했다. 흔히 전통적인 한정식이라고 하면, 긴 테이블에 펼쳐진 음식들을 볼 수 있다. 그러나 김 셰프는 고급 멀티코스 요리의 세심한 흐름과 스토리텔링의 힘을 믿고 있다. 김 셰프는 “들려줄 이야기가 있고, 요리사의 마음이 손님에게 전해지는 방식으로 그 이야기를 들려준다면, 바로 그것이 나에게는 파인 다이닝”이라고 말한다. 식사의 구성이 바뀌었을 지 모르지만, 그의 요리의 핵심은 한식의 본질, 즉 자연의 소박함이다. 김 셰프는 “여백의 미는 사람들이 전통 한식에 대해 얘기할 때 자주 언급되는 개념”이라며 “여기서 ‘여백의 미’는 소박함을 의미한다. 한식의 아름다움은 하나의 접시 위에 너무 많은 요소를 담지 않는 자연스러움을 의미한다”라고 설명했다. 한식의 재창조 김 셰프를 중심으로 서울의 미식계는 빠르게 진화하고 있다. ‘...
