housing
More on HOUSING—It is possible to be an asymptomatic carrier of COVID-19. If you are staying in a home with others, especially at-risk people, consider following these CDC guidelines for preventing spread in a home for 14 days:
Do not share a bedroom
Stay in a room with a window you can open
Designate your own bathroom (if possible)
Use shared bathroom last and clean after use
Wear a mask, especially in a room with others or in communal living areas. If you don’t have a mask, you can make a face covering out of a piece of clothing.
Clean high touch surfaces in communal rooms daily with household cleaner
Do not share personal household items: dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, or bedding. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after use.
Monitor your health!
