Practicing social distancing by keeping 6 feet between yourself and others not in your household can help prevent the spread of any virus. Staying home when you are sick or have possibly been exposed will help prevent exposing others. Wearing a mask that covers the nose and the mouth, especially when social distancing is not available, will help prevent the spreading of respiratory droplets which carry the COVID-19 virus. Practicing good hand hygiene, avoid touching your face and cleaning frequently touched surfaces are important techniques to help keep yourself and others healthy.
