Continuing to Minimize the Spread of COVID-19
- Protect yourself and others by wearing a face covering when it is hard to stay 6 feet away from people; washing your hands often with soap and water; covering your cough and sneeze; and avoiding touching your face with unwashed hands.
- If you or your child/children are sick, stay home from work, child care and other activities.
- Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home. Keep enough food, regular prescription drugs, and other necessities on hand in case you need to stay home and are not able to go out easily.
- Frequently clean all commonly touched surfaces (e.g., telephones, doorknobs, countertops, etc.).
- If you are considered a close contact to a lab confirmed case of COVID-19, get tested yourself and receive a negative test result, continue to quarantine until the end of your exclusion period.
- Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website on how to care for yourself at home; see What to Do If You Are Sick.
