The following precautions are a part of good health practices:

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, and for at least 20 seconds each time.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are ill.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
• Do not reuse a tissue after you cough, sneeze, or blow your nose.
• Clean and disinfect any surfaces that are frequently touched.
• It is also a good practice to start being more aware of the number of times a day your hands touch an object or hard surface and then touch your face without being washed.  Limiting the exposure of your nose, mouth and eyes to unwashed hands can help protect from the spread of all germs and illnesses.
• Have a plan in case you need to miss work or other responsibilities due to personal illness or to care for a sick family member.
• Pregnant women and those who have children should review the CDC recommendations on COVID 19.
