1. Call your doctor
If you developed a fever and symptoms like cough or difficulty breathing, call your doctor or healthcare provider.
2. Stay home and away from others
If possible, isolate yourself to a room and use a separate bathroom.
Avoid/Limit contact with pets/animals and people. There aren’t reports of animals becoming sick with coronavirus, but the impact is uncertain until more information is known.
3. Wear a facemask
Wear a facemask when you’re around other people.
4. Cover, dispose, and wash
Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
Dispose of used tissues, paper towels, etc. in a lined trash can.
Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol).

5. Clean & disinfect
Clean & disinfect “high-touch” surfaces everyday: phones and keyboards, remote controls, counters, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, tabletops, etc.
Clean with soap and water, then use a household disinfectant (most EPA-registered, household disinfectants should be effective).
