Prevention
While there isn’t a vaccine for coronavirus yet, we can all work to prevent it by:
- Washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (length of the ABC song) or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with a least 60% alcohol.
- Avoiding contact with people who are sick
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth (generally your face)
- Disinfect frequently touched surfaces
- Stay home when you are sick. And cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw it in the trash. If you don’t have a tissue, use the bend in your arm when coughing or sneezing.
