Ways to prevent Coronavirus

There's no vaccine yet for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. The best way to keep yourself safe from this respiratory virus is not to get it in the first place.

As communities across the country begin to reopen for business, you can lower your chances of getting or spreading the virus by taking these steps:

• Wash your hands well and often. Use hand sanitizer when you’re not near soap and water.

• Try not to touch your face.

• Follow your community guidelines for staying home.

• When you do go out in public, leave at least 6 feet of space between you and others.

• Wear a cloth face mask when you go out.

• Don’t leave your house if you don’t feel well.
