Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer. Look for one that is 60% or higher alcohol-based.
Reduce close contact with others by practicing social distancing. This means staying home as much as possible and avoiding public places where close contact with others is likely.
Keep your kids away from others who are sick or keep them home if they are ill.
Teach kids to cough and sneeze into a tissue (make sure to throw it away after each use!) or to cough and sneeze into their arm or elbow, not their hands.
Clean and disinfect your home as usual using regular household cleaning sprays or wipes.
Wash stuffed animals or other plush toys, following manufacturer's instructions in the warmest water possible and dry them completely.
Avoid touching your face; teach your children to do the same.
Avoid travel to highly infected areas.
Follow local and state guidance on travel restrictions.
