Protecting Yourself and Others

Understanding COVID-19
COVID-19, also known as the novel coronavirus, is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It spreads primarily through close contact with an infected person or by coming into contact with respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks.
Home Care Tips
1. Isolate Yourself
If you have tested positive for COVID-19 or suspect you may have been exposed, it is crucial to isolate yourself at home. Stay in a well-ventilated room and avoid contact with other household members to prevent the spread of the virus.
2. Practice Good Hygiene
Wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth, as the virus can enter your body through these areas.
3. Wear a Mask
Wearing a mask is essential to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. Ensure your mask covers your nose and mouth fully and fits snugly around the sides of your face. Follow the guidelines provided by health authorities for proper mask usage and disposal.
4. Maintain Social Distancing
Stay at least 6 feet away from others who are not from your household. Avoid crowded places, gatherings, and close contact with anyone showing symptoms of COVID-19. Social distancing plays a vital role in preventing the spread of the virus.
5. Disinfect Surfaces
Clean and disinfect frequently-touched surfaces and objects in your home regularly. Use EPA-approved disinfectants and follow the instructions on the label. Pay extra attention to high-touch areas such as doorknobs, light switches, and countertops.
6. Monitor Your Symptoms
Keep track of any symptoms you may experience and seek medical attention if they worsen or become severe. Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle ache, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, and gastrointestinal issues.
