What Precautions Can I Take to Avoid COVID-19?

Vaccinations have proven to be effective in preventing severe symptoms and hospitalizations due to COVD-19. However, as new strains continue to develop, it is still important us to work together and prevent the spread. Vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals should consider the following tips:

• Wear a mask that covers both the mouth and nose around people who don’t live in the household. The CDC recommends a cloth mask made of at least two layers of breathable fabric or a disposable mask of multiple layers of material. The mask should provide a close fit that does not leave gaps through which air can enter or escape, and have a wire that allows it to be fitted over the bridge of the nose.

• Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially if you have been in a public place. If soap isn’t available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

• Practice social distancing by staying at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ lengths) away from other people.

• Limit unnecessary face-to-face interactions with others outside the household and keep interactions as brief as possible.

• Avoid touching eyes, mouth, or nose unless hands are clean.

• Avoid crowded indoor places and indoor spaces with poor ventilation.

• Avoid close contact with people who have COVID-19.

• Use a household wipe or spray to clean and disinfect doorknobs, light switches, desks, keyboards, sinks, and other objects and surfaces that are frequently touched.
