Three Important Ways too Slow the Spread

• Wear a mask to protect yourself and others and stop the spread of COVID-19.
• Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from others who don’t live with you.
• Avoid crowds. The more people you are in contact with, the more likely you are to be exposed to COVID-19.

What to do if You’re Sick

• Stay home except to get medical care.
• Isolate yourself from other members of your family to prevent spread to them and the people that they may have contact with, like grandparents.
• Even if you don’t feel sick, you can spread COVID-19 to others.
• Get care immediately if you are having emergency warning signs, like trouble breathing, pain or pressure in chest.
