Prevention

  • Our best and most effective prevention measure against COVID-19 is vaccination. All of the vaccines that have been authorized by the FDA are safe and effective. If you have questions or concerns, please speak with a healthcare professional.

  • Stay informed on the most current and accurate information. Use reputable sources. Be sure you understand the information. Ask questions.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap is not available.
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing/sneezing. Discard tissues after use.
  • Monitor your health and stay home if you are sick.
  • If unvaccinated, avoid close contact with people who are not part of your household. Maintain at least six feet distance between you and others.
  • Avoid close contact with anyone who is sick, including members of your household.
  • Clean and disinfect surfaces thoroughly with common household cleaners or wipes.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • If unvaccinated, wear cloth face coverings when in public. Be sure you know how to wear them correctly.
  • In some cases, vaccinated individuals should also wear face coverings. This includes areas of high or substantial community spread or where face coverings are required like healthcare settings, public transportation, homeless shelters, correctional facilities, and airplanes. Vaccinated people should also continue to follow the requirements set forth by individual businesses (such as retail stores and restaurants) and workplace requirements, which may be more strict than local and CDC guidance.
