According to the CDC, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spread mainly from person-to-person contact. This includes people who are in close contact (within six feet of each other), and through respiratory droplets produced when an infected eprson coughs or sneezes. The CDC recommends taking precautionary steps to protect yourself and others, including:
- Cleaning your hands often
- Avoiding close contact with others (social distancing)
- Staying home if you are sick
- Covering coughs and sneezes
- Wearing a facemask if you are sick
- Clean and disinfect surfaces.
