Steps To Prevent The Spread Of COVID-19
Coronavirus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person. This means that the virus can be spread between people who are in close contact with one another and through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Steps you can take to prevent the spread of the coronavirus include:
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue away and wash your hands
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
- If you are at high risk, avoid nonessential travel
- Stay home when you’re sick, except to get medical care
What To Do If You’re Sick
- Stay home except to get medical care
- Separate yourself from other people in your home
- Call ahead before visiting your doctor
- Wear a facemask if you are sick
- Cover coughs and sneezes
- Clean your hands often
- Avoid sharing personal household items
- Clean “high touch” surfaces every day
- Monitor your symptoms
