4. LIMIT THE SPREAD OF GERMS & PREVENT INFECTION
There are common sense steps we can all take to prevent
the spread of any respiratory virus:
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when
coughing or sneezing and throw the tissue away after
use. If a tissue isnt available, cough or sneeze into
your elbow, not your hands.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least
20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom;
before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing
or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily
available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at
least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and
water if hands are visibly dirty.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep,
be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of
fluids and eat nutritious food.

telephones, bedside tables, bathroom sinks, toilets,
counters, toys and other surfaces that are commonly
touched around the home or workplace.
Follow the CDCs recommendations for using a
facemask.
CDC does not recommend that people who are healthy
wear a facemask to protect themselves from
respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
Facemasks should be used by people who are ill to
help prevent the spread of the disease to others.
The use of facemasks is also crucial forhealth
workersandpeople who are taking care of someone in
