Everyday Preventive
Measures
Person-to-person
spread of the virus is thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets
produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Much is still unknown about
how the virus spreads. Take these everyday preventive actions to help stop the
spread of germs:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in
the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
