Cover Your Cough and Sneeze
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue
- Put your tissue in the trash can
- If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow, not your hands
Wash Your Hands
- Wash hands with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds OR use a hand sanitizer after:
- Coughing or sneezing
- Using the bathroom
- Caring for a sick person
- Handling garbage or animal waste
Keep Living and Work Areas Clean
- Clean areas with household detergents
(dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, hand soap).
- Sanitize surfaces with bleach or alcohol
Keep Your Distance
- Avoid crowds
- Limit your travel
- Travel to and from work during off-peak hours, if possible
- Work from home, if possible
Stay Home if Sick
- Staying home means more than missing work or school. Do not go to public places, including libraries, grocery stores, shopping, or attending social gatherings.
