Practice social distancing
We tend to spend the most amount of time interacting with those who live closest to us. When around others, keep 6 feet between you when possible. If you’re sick, stay at home and don’t attend public gatherings.
Watch for symptoms
Before you act, know your symptoms so you can make the best decision for care.
Adults age 65 and older, and people with underlying conditions, should take extra precautions.
