COVID-19 Prevention Tips

Together, we can all help reduce the impact of COVID-19

The best way to minimize the risk of exposure is to practice everyday preventative behaviors — and encourage others to do the same. Effective prevention includes:

Practicing good respiratory etiquette by coughing and sneezing into tissues, then throwing them in the trash

Staying home when you are sick

As a voluntary health measure, wear a cloth face covering in public to prevent the spread of the virus or when taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility)

Continuing thorough hand washing (and/or using alcohol-based hand sanitizers) and good personal hygiene

Avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth

Cleaning frequently touched surfaces

Learn proper hand-washing techniques.

COVID-19 Quick Facts

COVID-19 is a disease caused by a unique coronavirus strain that began spreading in people in December 2019.

Health experts are concerned because little is known about this new virus, which has proven highly contagious and responsible for causing severe illness, including pneumonia and other respiratory problems, among other symptoms.

This disease was formerly referred to as “2019 novel coronavirus” or “2019-nCoV.”
The COVID-19 virus is not the same as the coronaviruses that commonly circulate
among humans and cause mild illness, like the common cold.
COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.
