COVID-19 

How to make yourself away from infection from coronavirus:-
  1. Stay home if you can and avoid gatherings of more than ten people.
  2. Practice social distancing by keeping a distance of about six feet from others if you must go out in public.
  3. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
  4. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
  5. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  6. Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care.
  7. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing; throw used tissues in the trash. If a tissue isn’t available, cough or sneeze into your elbow or sleeve, not your hands.
  8. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, computers, phones, keyboards, sinks, toilets, faucets and countertops.
  9. If surfaces are dirty, clean them - use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
  10. Wear a facemask if you are sick. You should wear a facemask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office.




Who are at high risk :-
  1. When you go out in public, keep away from others who are sick, limit close contact and wash your hands often.
  2. Stock up on supplies.
  3. Contact your healthcare provider to ask about obtaining extra necessary medications to have on hand in case there is an outbreak of COVID-19 in your community and you need to stay home for a prolonged period of time.
  4. If you cannot get extra medications, consider using a mail-order option.
  5. Be sure you have over-the-counter medicines and medical supplies (tissues, etc.) to treat fever and other symptoms. Most people will be able to recover from COVID-19 at home.
  6. Have enough household items and groceries on hand so that you will be prepared to stay at home for a period of time.
