Best practices for protecting yourselves from COVID 19:

Stay home when you are sick.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Limit close contact, like kissing and sharing cups or utensils, with people who are sick.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If you do not have a tissue, use your sleeve (not your hands).
Face masks are most effective when used appropriately by health care workers and people who are sick.
Get a flu immunization shot to prevent influenza if you have not done so this season.
