Tips to Stay Healthy and Prevent the Spread of the Virus

Below are everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory disease, including COVID-19:

• Stay home when you are sick
• Practice social distancing
• Use a mask or simple cloth face covering when in public; this can help prevent your germs from infecting others – especially in situations where you may spread the virus without symptoms.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. (If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.)
• Perform hand hygiene with alcohol-based hand rub before and after all patient/client contact.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If a tissue is not available, sneeze into your elbow, not your hand.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
