Preventing COVID-19

Health officials recommend taking the same precautions for COVID-19 as you would for avoiding colds and the flu:

• 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.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily, like phones, tables, doorknobs, light switches, keyboards, toilets, faucets and sinks.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Social distance
