Protect yourself and others from COVID-19 and other communicable diseases by following these recommendations:
The CDC recommends that people wear cloth face coverings in public settings when around people outside of their household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. Cloth face coverings may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others. Cloth face coverings are most likely to reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are widely used by people in public settings. Cloth face coverings should NOT be worn by children under the age of 2 or anyone who has trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
Recommended Preparations…
In order to prevent the spread of infection, individuals who have COVID-19 or who have had known exposure to COVID-19 are being asked to stay home for two weeks. If you find yourself in that situation, consider what you will want to have on-hand:
Thermometer
Prescription medication
Over-the-counter medicine, including acetaminophen and ibuprofen
Feminine hygiene products
Toilet paper
Alcohol-based hand sanitizer
Vitamins
Soap and other toiletries
Household cleaning supplies, including products that kill germs
Laundry detergent
Tissues, paper towels
Food and beverages
Pet supplies
Any other essential items you would need for 14 days
