Everyday actions to help prevent the spread of any respiratory virus, including COVID‑19:

​

• Wash hands often for 20 seconds and encourage others to do the same.

• If no soap and water are available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue away.

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

• Disinfect surfaces, buttons, handles, knobs, and other places touched often.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
