This includes washing your hands frequently with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer; avoiding contact with people who are sick; avoiding touching your face, eyes, nose, and mouth; and covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Additionally, cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces and objects can help reduce the risk of infection.

The easiest and most important way to prevent the spread of infection is to practice good hygiene and sanitation. This means washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. Additionally, individuals should disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects such as doorknobs, countertops, and light switches.

It is also important to practice social distancing whenever possible. This means avoiding close contact with people who are sick, especially those with confirmed or suspected COVID-19. When social distancing is not possible, wear a face covering such as a cloth mask to reduce the risk of transmission.

Finally, it is important to stay home when you are sick, and avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, and mouth. Seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen and follow the instructions of your healthcare provider. Following these steps will help to reduce the spread of infection and protect you and those around you.
