The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed:
- Stay home as much as possible
- Only go out for essentials (e.g. groceries, medications) once a week
- Practice physical distancing when you are out
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 15 seconds
- If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
- Don’t touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
- Avoid close contact with people who are ill
- Stay home when you are ill
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then immediately throw the tissue in the garbage and wash your hands
- If you don’t have a tissue, sneeze or cough into your sleeve or arm
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
