As we continue to navigate COVID-19, it’s important that we continue to follow the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations:

• Practice social distancing: stay home if possible
• Wash hands with soap & water for 20 seconds often; if hand washing is unavailable, use hand sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol)
• Cover your coughs & sneezes with a tissue; then throw in trash
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
• Sanitize frequently touched surfaces and objects frequently
• Avoid handshakes and ‘high-fives” to prevent the transmission of COVID-19
• Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care
• Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others
