The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have provided some preventative measures you can take as well.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

  • Stay home if you have a fever or flu-like symptoms remain home until “fever free” for 24 hours. Fever free is considered having a temperature of less than 100° without medication for 24 hours.
  • Consider saying home if you are at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19 because of your age (60+) or because you have a serious long-term health problem.
  • Wash hands or use sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Wash hands for a minimum of 20 seconds.
  • Stay away from people who are sick or not feeling well and avoid close contact with others through hugging, kissing or shaking hands.
  • Clean AND Disinfect daily, this includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, phones, toilets, sinks, etc. If surfaces are dirty, clean them with detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
  • Bring your own towel or water bottle.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes with tissues or by coughing into the inside of the elbow. Throw used tissues away in the trash. Immediately wash your hands.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Seek assistance from a health professional if you see or experience symptoms that cause concern.
