PROTECT YOURSELF & OTHERS
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. You can take steps to slow the spread:
- Face Coverings
- When you're around others, wear a face covering over your mouth and nose.
- Physical Distancing
- Maintain good physical distance (about 6 feet). This helps protect ourselves and others from exposure, decreases the strain on our health care system, and ultimately save lives.
- Evaluate the risk of exposure for various activities with this COVID-19 Risk Index Chart.
- Hand Washing
- Wash your hands often with soap and water (for 20+ seconds).
- If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- Continuous Cleaning
- Routinely clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces: door handles, groceries, take-out food containers, countertops, kitchen areas and cell phones.
