The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Learn how illness spreads and practice these actions to help prevent the spread of this illness.

​

To help prevent the spread of illnesses:

​

1) Wear a mask to protect you and others and stop the spread of infections.

​

2) Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from others who don’t live with you.

​

3) Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated spaces. The more people you are in contact with, the more likely you are to be exposed to illnesses.

​

4) Get vaccinated when it’s available to you.

​

5) Clean your hands often, either with soap and water for 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

​

6) Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

​

7) Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
