How to protect yourself from coronavirus (COVID-19)

How to protect yourself from coronavirus (COVID-19)? 

Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent coronavirus (COVID-19).  The best way to prevent is to avoid being exposed.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.  Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
  • Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people (Stay 6 feet away).
  • Stay at home as much as possible.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover or a facemask.
  • Do not use a facemask that is meant for a healthcare worker.
Even if a person does not feel sick, they could spread COVID-19 to others.  Everyone should wear cloth face cover or a facemask when going out in public.
