Protecting Yourself & Others
6 Daily Habits to Help Prevent the Spread of Viruses
Physical Contact
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. This could mean maintaining enough distance between yourself and another person (generally 6 feet) to reduce the risk of breathing in droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Keep Hands Clean.
Clean your hands often. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers or wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Avoid Touching Face.
Try to avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Have A Cough or Cold?
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, not your hand. Throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean Surfaces.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces, using a cleaning spray or wipe.
Feeling Sick?
Stay home when you're sick. If you believe you've been exposed to someone with COVID-19, even if you are not showing symptoms, please stay home and contact your primary care physician.
