How should you protect yourself and others against COVID-19? The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Learn how COVID-19 spreads and practice these actions to help prevent the spread of this illness:
Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around people who don't live with you. Masks work best when everyone wears one.
Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from others.
Avoid crowds. The more people you are in contact with, the more likely you are to be exposed to COVID-19.
Avoid unventilated indoor spaces. If indoors, bring in fresh air by opening windows and doors.
Clean your hands often, either with soap and water for 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains 60% alcohol.
get vaccinated against COVID-19 when it's your turn.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces daily.
