Here are just some of the steps you can take to stay healthy amid the COVID-19 pandemic:

Social distancing

• Current data from the CDC proves that social distancing does work, and has a significant effect on flattening the curve of infection.
• Previous estimates of 3-6 feet of distance between people may not be enough. 20 feet of space or more is a surefire way to avoid viral droplets in the air.
• Try to avoid situations and places where people gather, and refrain from talking face-to-face with others as much as you can.
• If possible, shelter-in-place — even if your city or state has not recommended it.

Disinfect surfaces

• Disinfect and wipe down frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, countertops and light switches. Tap or click here for other easily missed surfaces to sanitize.
• If you do not have disinfecting wipes of your own, use a solution of at least 65% alcohol, or one part bleach and five parts water, with dry paper towels to clean surfaces.

Hand washing

• Wash hands frequently, including after every time you leave your home.
• Wash with warm soapy water for 20 seconds and, if you can’t wash, use hand sanitizer and rub into your hands until it’s gone.

Now that you know the facts, make sure to spread this article around to your friends and loved ones. That way, we can practice better hygiene and flatten that curve as much as possible.
