Preventing COVID-19

CDC's Essential Guidelines

A lightboard reads

In the ongoing battle against COVID-19, prevention is our strongest weapon. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the following actions to curb the spread of respiratory viruses:

Hand Hygiene

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

Prioritize handwashing after using the bathroom, before eating, and after coughing or sneezing.

When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Refrain from touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Social Distancing

Avoid close contact with individuals who are sick.

Maintain a safe distance to reduce transmission risk.

Cover Your Cough and Sneeze

Use a tissue to cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.

Dispose of used tissues in the trash promptly.

Disinfect High-Touch Surfaces

Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using household cleaning products.

Stay Home When Sick

If you're feeling unwell, stay home to prevent potential spread.

Remember, these simple steps protect not only you, but also your community. Let's stay vigilant and prioritize health!
