Tips to stay safe from COVID-19

To stay safe from coronavirus, it is important to follow guidelines from public health agencies and practice good personal hygiene. Here are some specific steps you can take:

  • Wear a mask in public settings, especially when it is not possible to maintain physical distance from others.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when you cough or sneeze.
  • Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Stay home if you are sick or have been in close contact with someone who is sick.
  • Follow guidelines from public health agencies and your employer or school on how to stay safe and prevent the spread of the virus.

It is also important to stay informed about the latest developments and guidelines related to coronavirus. You can check with your local public health department or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the most up-to-date information.
