•    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.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Put distance between yourself and other people outside of your home.

• Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread the virus.

•    Stay at least 6 feet (about two arms’ length) from other people.

• Do not gather in groups.

• Stay out of crowded places and avoid mass gatherings.

• Keeping distance from others is especially crucial for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.

 Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others

• You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.

• Everyone should wear a cloth face cover when they have to go out in public, for example to the grocery store or to pick up other necessities.

• The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.

• Do NOT use a facemask intended for a healthcare worker.

• Continue to keep approximately 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.

• Cover coughs and sneezes.

• If you are in a private setting and do not have on your cloth face covering, remember always to cover your mouth and nose with a 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. 

Everyone is working to keep areas clean, and you should too.

• Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.

• If surfaces are dirty, clean them. Use detergent or soap and water before disinfection. Then, use a household disinfectant.

And lastly, we ask that you stay healthy. Monitor your health.

• Be alert for symptoms. Watch for fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19. This is especially important if you are running essential errands, going into the office or workplace, and in settings where it may be challenging to keep a physical distance of 6 feet.

• Take your temperature if symptoms develop.

• Don’t take your temperature within 30 minutes of exercising or after taking medications that could lower your temperature, like acetaminophen.

• Follow CDC guidance if symptoms develop.
