• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Don’t touch your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Stay away from sick people.
• Clean and disinfect surfaces – especially ones that are touched frequently – using regular household cleaning spray or wipes.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
• Stay home if you’re sick and don’t send sick children to school or childcare.
