Clean hands

Make it a habit of constently washing your hands for a full 20 seconds with soap and water. If soap and water aren’t available, use hand sanitizer. Keep some hand lotion close by in case your hands feel a little dry from all the washing.​

Sneezing into elbows (or inside of shirt)

COVID-19 spreads via airborne droplets that are produced from sneezing and coughing. This is why health experts recommend sneezing and coughing into elbows and tissues (or shirts) to help with the spread of the germ. Don’t forget to wash your hands and throw out tissue right after!

Don’t touch your face

Limit and avoid the touching of your face, eyes, nose and mouth. This will help keep the coronavirus from entering your system since your hands are constently touching different surfaces. If your hands touch an infected surface the virus can quickly transfer if you touch your face.

Keep your distance from people when you go out

It is suggested that you keep a distance of at least three to six feet from others when you step outside. This will help you stay clear of any airborne droplets that may come from an infected person.

Be aware of how you are feeling

Take note of any difference in your health and stay home if you experience a fever, cough or shortness of breath.​
