Basic protective measures against the new coronavirus
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands using soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol for at least 20 seconds.
Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
Maintain at least 6 feet of distance between yourself and people who do not live in your household and wear a mask when going outdoors.
Why? When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.
Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick
Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.
Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.
Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority.
Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.
Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-19. Follow advice given by your healthcare provider, your national and local public health authority or your employer on how to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on whether COVID-19 is spreading in your area. They are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.

COVID-19 Assessment Tool
This assessment tool uses a seven-question quiz from Desert Care Network to determine symptoms, risk factors and exposure for COVID-19. Based on your answers, it may show that you are a candidate for testing.
This tool does not provide a diagnosis and does not take the place of consultation with your healthcare provider. If you are suffering a medical emergency, you should call 911.

COVID-19 Assessment Tool
This assessment tool uses a seven-question quiz from Desert Care Network to determine symptoms, risk factors and exposure for COVID-19. Based on your answers, it may show that you are a candidate for testing.
This tool does not provide a diagnosis and does not take the place of consultation with your healthcare provider. If you are suffering a medical emergency, you should call 911.
