Protect Yourself:

​

Older adults and people who have certain underlying conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes are at increase risk of severe illness from COVID-19 illness. For more information contact your local DOH or CDC 

 

Know how it spreads:

​

  • There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19)

  • The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.

  • The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-person.

  • Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet.)

  • Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person, coughs, sneezes, or talks.

  • These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

  • Some recent studies have suggested that COVID-19  may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.

 

EVERYONE SHOULD WASH 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. 

  • It’s especially IMPORTANT to wash: before eating, or preparing food

  • Before touching your face 

  • After using the restroom

  • After leaving a public place

  • After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing

  • After handling your mask

  • After changing a diaper

  • After caring for someone sick

  • After touching animals or pets 

 

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

  • If possible, maintain 6 feet between the person who is sick and other household members.
