Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others
• You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.
• Everyone should wear a cloth face cover when they have to go out in public,
for example to the grocery store or to pick up other necessities.
» Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone
who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to
remove the mask without assistance.
• The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.
• Do NOT use a facemask meant for a healthcare worker.
• Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover
is not a substitute for social distancing.
Cover coughs and sneezes
• If you are in a private setting and do not have on your cloth face covering,
remember to always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you
cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
• Throw used tissues in the trash.
• Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If
soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that
contains at least 60% alcohol.
Clean and disinfect
• Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables,
doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets,
faucets, and sinks. www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/

to disinfection.
