PHYSICAL DISTANCING & HAND WASHING ARE THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST COVID-19
How to Protect Yourself from COVID-19
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating and after going to the bathroom, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
If you do not have soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Cough or sneeze into an elbow if no tissue is available. Wash your hands.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household disinfectant cleaning spray or wipe.
