The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. You can take steps to slow the spread.

​

• Stay at least 6 feet away from others, whenever possible. This is very important in preventing the spread of COVID-19.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others. This helps reduce the risk of spread both by close contact and by airborne transmission.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

• Avoid crowded indoor spaces and ensure indoor spaces are properly ventilated by bringing in outdoor air as much as possible. In general, being outdoors and in spaces with good ventilation reduces the risk of exposure to infectious respiratory droplets.

• Stay home and isolate from others when sick.

• Routinely clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
