Everyone has a role to play in reducing the spread of COVID-19 and staying healthy. Please stay home if you are exhibiting signs of the flu or if you are not feeling well.

To stay healthy, the CDC and other health agencies recommend:

1. Washing your hands frequently. Wash you hands for 20 seconds or more with soapy water. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
3. Stay home and away from others if you are sick.
4. Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces frequently.
5. Cover your mouth/nose with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing.
