Practice Healthy Habits

The best way to prevent the spread of diseases like COVID-19 is to practice the same simple habits you would to prevent the flu.

• Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
• When unable to wash your hands, use an alcohol-based sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth
• Avoid contact with people who are sick
• Stay home while you are sick and avoid close contact with others
• Cover your mouth/nose with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces

Have an Emergency Plan

A good plan ensures that you have access to the personal information that you need, you and your family can communicate, and you know how to stay informed during an emergency. The Federal Emergency Management Association has helpful resources for you.
