What Should You Do?

You should go about your daily lives, but take certain precautions:

  • Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands).
  • Wash hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
  • Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
  • If you feel sick, stay home.
  • Should you become ill, contact your doctor first before visiting their office to make arrangements for care.
  • If you are well you do not need to wear a facemask. Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms to prevent the spread of the disease or by health care providers.
  • Avoid public places and events with large crowds to lower the chances of coming into contact with germs that could make you sick.
  • Make sure you have enough prescription medications and fever reducing medication to last you if you get sick and need to stay home while you are sick.
  • Stock up on a week or two of foods and drinks you like to have when you are sick like chicken noodle soup and hydrating drinks.
  • Keep cleaning supplies on hand, consider use of a bleach solution or alcohol wipes to clean and disinfect surfaces at home or work.
