An excellent current example of general guidelines has been produced in Germany, a country with several large ethnic and religious minorities. The necessary information is contained in a well-designed, small-size brochure of 23 pages available in 19 languages and produced by the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA), an agency of the German Federal Ministry for Health and Social Security. Since the brochure can serve as a model for others and is both scientifically accurate and easy to understand, we are reproducing its complete English version here directly online. This also includes information about behavior and situations that carry no risk of infection.
