Preventive Tips to Minimize your Risk
The best defense against all viruses is to follow a few simple recommendations from the CDC. Visit the COVID-19 Prevention and Treatment page for more tips.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
