~~ Coronavirus and Monkey Pox Prevention Tips ~~

 

There is currently no vaccine to prevent corona-virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, the CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help

prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:

 

- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

 

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

 

- Stay home when you 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 using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

 

- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

 

- If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

​

- Follow the CDC's recommendations for using facemasks.
