This sign is located in the staff area of St. Olav's Hospital in Trondheim, Norway. This photo was taken on March 16th, 2022 inside of a staff-only area.
The sign reads as follows:
Habits that prevent infection
Paper tissues
Cover your mouth and nose to protect others when coughing or sneezing. Through away the tissue after use. Then wash your hands.
Use the hook of your elbow
When you need to cough or sneeze and you do not have a paper tissue.
Wash your hands
With hand sanitizer when hand washing is not possible; for example, when traveling.

In 2022, many places in the world have taken down signs and other precautionary rules that have to do with limiting the spread of coronavirus. This sign, which can only be seen by hospital staff, shows how precautions are still being enforced for hospital staff. This is important as it shows what rules and regulations are still being enforced in 2022.
