COVID-19

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus. The disease causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. You can protect yourself by washing your hands frequently, avoiding touching your face, and avoiding close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell.

HOW IT SPREADS

Coronavirus disease spreads primarily through contact with an infected person when they cough or sneeze. It also spreads when a person touches a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth.

You can protect yourself and help prevent spreading the virus to others if you:

Do:

  • Cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or flexed elbow when you cough or sneeze.
  • Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rubs.
  • Avoid close contact (6 feet) with people who are unwell.
  • Stay home and self-isolate from others in the household if you are unwell.
  • Get vaccinated.
  • Wear a mask where required in public indoor space and on public transit.
  • Turn on exposure notifications on your phone.
  • Get tested if you are sick.
  • Honor mask rules in place at a private business.
  • Get tested if required by your workplace.
  • Wear a mask when you travel.

Don't:

  • Touch your eyes, nose, or mouth if your hands are not clean
  • Lose your proof of vaccination.
  • Think you can't get the virus or pass it on because you feel well.
  • Assume everyone is vaccinated.
  • Expect all COVID-19 rules everywhere are lifted.
  • Travel into the United States without proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test.
  • Attend large events if you are sick.
  • Travel if you are sick.
