Stop The Spread

Tips to Slow the Spread and Keep You & Your Family Safe

  • Wear a mask to protect yourself and others to stop the spread of COVID0-19
  • Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from others who don’t live with you
  • Avoid crowds.  The more people you are in contact with, the more likely you are to be exposed to COVID-19. 
  • Consider a virtual gathering to celebrate winter holidays
  • Stay home if you are sick
  • Get tested and quarantine immediately after
  • Get the COVID-19 vaccine when available
  • Answer all COVID-19 screening questions honestly
