COVID-19 Information
How do I protect myself and others from contracting COVID-19?
WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN
Wash your hands
often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
It’s especially important to wash:
Before eating or preparing food
Before touching your face
After using the restroom
After leaving a public place
After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
After handling your cloth face covering
After changing a diaper
After caring for someone sick
After touching animals or pets
If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
AVOID CLOSE CONTACT WITH OTHERS
Inside your home: avoid close contact with people who are sick.
If possible, maintain 6 feet between the person who is sick and other household members.
Outside your home: keep 6 feet of distance (about 2 arms’ length) between yourself and people who don’t live in your household.
Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread the virus.
COVER YOUR MOUTH AND NOSE WITH A MASK OR FACE COVER
You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.
The mask or cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.
Everyone should wear a mask or
cloth face cover
in public settings and when people who don’t live in their household, especially when other
social distancing
measures are difficult to maintain.
Masks or cloth face coverings should not be placed on children under age two, or anyone who has trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The mask or cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.
COVER YOUR COUGHS AND SNEEZES
Always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or use the inside of your elbow, and do not spit.
Throw used tissues in the trash.
Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
CLEAN & DISINFECT
Clean AND disinfect
frequently-touched surfaces
daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
Avoid sharing difficult to clean items, including electronic devices, personal grooming items, etc.
Keep working, learning and living environments and personal items as clean as possible
If surfaces are dirty, clean them. Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
Then, use a household disinfectant. Know the most common
EPA-registered household disinfectants
.
MONITOR YOUR HEALTH DAILY
Be alert for symptoms. Watch for fever, cough, shortness of breath, or
other symptoms
of COVID-19.
Especially important if you are
running essential errands
, going into the office or workplace, and in settings where it may be difficult to keep a
physical distance of 6 feet
.
Take your temperature if symptoms develop.
Don’t take your temperature within 30 minutes of exercising or after taking medications that could lower your temperature, like acetaminophen.
Please note that lack of fever does not necessarily mean that you do not have COVID-19.
