Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Take steps to protect yourself from Coronavirus Disease

• Clean your hands often.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
• Do not touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid close contact

• Avoid close contact keeping a distance of six feet away from people who are sick
• Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick, 60+ years of age, and those with pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, heart or pulmonary disease, hypertension, or immunocompromised.
• Stay at home if you are considered a higher risk person

• Cover coughs and sneezes

• Cover your mouth and nose with tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
• Throw used tissues in the trash.
• Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Stay home if you’re sick

• Stay home if you are sick, except when seeking medical care
• Wear a facemask if available when sick
