GENERAL COVID19 INFORMATION
KNOW HOW IT SPREADS
-
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.
-
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
-
Between people who are in close contact with one another (within
about 6 feet).
-
Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person
coughs, sneezes or talks.
-
These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are
nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
-
Some recent studies have suggested that COVID-19 may be spread
by people who are not showing symptoms.
-
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has SARS-CoV-2 on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the primary way the virus spreads
KNOW HOW TO AVOID IT
-
Clean hands often
Wash hands for at least 20 seconds
