The best ways to protect yourself from getting the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are washing your hands often; stay home as much as possible; and cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). If you feel sick and have a cough, fever, or breathing problems, stay home and call your doctor.

Help protect yourself, your family, your friends, and your community. For more information and updates from the CDC, go to www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/.
