Coronavirus Information

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) says the best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to the virus. Even if you feel healthy it is important to take these precautions to protect portions of the population that are more at risk. The CDC recommends the following steps to protect yourself:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you have been in public or around anyone coughing or sneezing. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds (about the amount of times it takes you to sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice).

    • If soap and water aren't accessible, use a hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol. Cover all areas of your hand.

    • Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.

  • Avoid close contact with sick people. ​

  • Stay at home if you are sick.

  • When you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth a tissue or cough or sneeze into the inside of your elbow. Wash or sanitize your hands afterwards.

  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily (such as ​tables, doorknobs, light switches, phones, keyboards, sinks, and more)
