CDPHE COVID-19 Recommendations

Personal prevention and preparation:
Stay informed with reliable sources of information and share accurate information with neighbors, friends and co-workers, especially people who may have difficulty receiving or understanding the information.

1) There are effective ways to reduce the risk to yourself and the people you care about.
-  Frequently and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water for at least
   20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer with at     
   least 60% alcohol.
-  Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash, or
   use your inner elbow or sleeve.
-  Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
-  Stay home if you’re sick, and keep your children home if they are sick. 
-  Clean surfaces in your home, and personal items such as cell phones, using
    regular household products.

3) People who are not sick do not need face masks to protect themselves from respiratory viruses, including COVID-19. Sick people should wear a mask if they have one --> to protect family members and in any scenario where needed to prevent the spread of germs.
