The Department of Public Health (DVG) reminds the community that washing your hands with soap and water is essential to prevent infectious diseases.

Water is a fundamental liquid to live. Below you will find some recommendations on how to use water responsibly.

• Bathe no longer than 5 minutes;
• Close the faucet when using soap and shampoo;
