Stay protected at school and at home!

Prevention

Advice for preventing the spread of coronavirus:

• No place is safer than home.  Limit your time away from home.

• Stay home when you are sick.  Stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. 

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Practice social distancing.  Stay 6 feet apart from other individuals.  Do not gather in groups of more than 10.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.  The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.  Do NOT use a face mask meant for a healthcare worker. See videos on how to make your own cloth face cover and how to wear a cloth face covering.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way.

• Cover coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue to cover coughs and sneezes, then dispose of the tissue. When a tissue is not available, cough or sneeze into your elbow.

• Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill. 

• Wash hands for 20 seconds. Washing hands often under clean, running water can help prevent the spread of germs. For more guidance see the CDC: When and How to Wash Your Hands. If you cannot wash your hands, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60-95% alcohol.
