How to fight COVID-19
Preventive measures include physical or social distancing, quarantining, ventilation of indoor spaces, covering coughs and sneezes, hand washing, and keeping unwashed hands away from the face. The use of face masks or coverings has been recommended in public settings to minimize the risk of transmissions.

Symptoms of COVID-19 are variable, ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Common symptoms include headache, loss of smell and taste, nasal congestion and runny nose, cough, muscle pain, sore throat, fever, diarrhea, and breathing difficulties. People with the same infection may have different symptoms, and their symptoms may change over time. Three common clusters of symptoms have been identified: one respiratory symptom cluster with cough, sputum, shortness of breath, and fever; a musculoskeletal symptom cluster with muscle and joint pain, headache, and fatigue; a cluster of digestive symptoms with abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. In people without prior ear, nose, and throat disorders, loss of taste combined with loss of smell is associated with COVID-19 and is reported in as many as 88% of cases. Introductory meeting of COVID-19 vaccine post-introduction evaluation (cPIE) has been organized by the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the National Center for Communicable Diseases (NCCD). Mr D. Bayarbold, Director of Public Health Department,

MoH, Dr Ts.Bilegtsaikhan, General Director of NCCD and Mrs Monica Fong, WHO Acting Representative to Mongolia and other delegates participated in the online and in-person hybrid meeting. During the meeting, the best practices of cPIE in Philippines were shared by Mrs Glenda Gonzales, Consultant at WHO WPRO. The meeting participants discussed preparatory details of the evaluation including cPIE objectives, expected results, methodology, selection of target provinces and districts, data collection and analysis and reporting.

WHO is participating as partnering organization for cPIE in Mongolia providing technical and financial support, and number of experts from WHO WPRO and US CDC are coming to Mongolia to assist in the evaluation. Other organizations including National Center for Public Health, UNICEF Mongolia and health facilities will participate in cPIE in Mongolia as well.

The WHO recommends all countries which have introduced a new vaccine to conduct a Post-Introduction Evaluation (PIE) to measure the impact on their vaccination system. The review is normally carried out 6-18 months after initial COVID-19 vaccine introduction. cPIE will allow problems associated with the introduction of the vaccine to be identified early enough to be corrected and documented, so that they can be prevented in future introductions of new vaccines and shared with other countries to prevent similar problems, and also to indicate the ease or complexity of the vaccine introduction. .

After exposure to someone who has COVID-19, do the following:
 * Call your health care provider or COVID-19 hotline to find out where and when to get a test.
 * Cooperate with contact-tracing procedures to stop the spread of the virus.
