  • Remain calm for yourself and for others, using whatever self care practices are important to you

  • Practice social distancing in order to minimize the spread of this virus

  • Be especially mindful of older adults and those who are immunocompromised and who are the most at-risk. Consider ways that you can support elders to gain access to cleaning supplies and food so that they can remain safe, secure, and healthy in their homes.

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

  • If you or a loved one are sick, to keep from spreading respiratory illness to others, you should:

  • Stay home except to get medical care. More 

  • Call ahead before visiting your doctor

  • Cover your coughs and sneezes

  • Avoid sharing personal household items

  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
