Reduce Your Risk
The latest information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers guidance on how to keep yourself and your loved ones healthy, and lower your risk of infection. There are actions you can take today to help stop the spread of coronavirus:
- Stay at least 6 feet away from others outside of your immediate family
- Cover your nose and mouth with a mask when you are around others, especially in a public setting and when social distancing measures are difficult to maintain
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or sanitize your hands using an alcohol-based sanitizer
- Stay out of situations where you know there will be a large crowd or group of unmasked people
- Stay home if you are sick and encourage family members to do the same
- Always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow
