TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT YOURSELF

Clean 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.
• 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
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Put distance between yourself and other people if
        COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This is
        especially important for people who are at higher risk of
        getting very sick.

TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT OTHERS

Stay home if you’re sick
• Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care.
        Learn what to do if you are sick.

Cover coughs and sneezes
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you
        cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
• 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.

Wear a facemask if you are sick
• If you are sick: You should wear a facemask when you
        are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle)
        and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. If you
        are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it
        causes trouble breathing), then you should do your best
        to cover your coughs and sneezes, and people who are
        caring for you should wear a facemask if they enter your
        room. Learn what to do if you are sick.
• If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a facemask
        unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they
        are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks may be in
        short supply and they should be saved for caregivers.

Clean and disinfect
• Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily.
        This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches,
        countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets,
        faucets, and sinks.
• If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap
        and water prior to disinfection.
