What You Can Do to Keep You and Your Family Safe

It is important to remember that there are everyday preventative actions you can take to help limit the spread of COVID-19

Practice Social Distancing:

• Avoid close contact (keep 6 feet) with people, especially those who are coughing or sneezing.
• Avoid unnecessary physical contact – greet others with a smile, not a handshake.
• Avoid attendance at crowded events and replace in-person gatherings with conference calls or web-based video conference alternatives.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer and rub for at least 20 seconds.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Cover your cough and sneeze into a tissue.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
• use a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
