Stage 4 (Current Status)

Personal Preparedness

There are many common-sense steps that you can take to limit the spread of COVID-19. For 80% of cases, it is a relatively mild illness that does not require hospitalization. While there is currently no way to eliminate COVID-19, we can slow down its spread and protect our vulnerable population by:

• Washing your hands frequently with soap and water
• Not touching your face (mouth, nose, eyes) with your hands.
• Staying home if you feel sick until the illness is resolved.
• Covering all coughs and sneezes with a tissue and wash your hands thoroughly afterward.
• Staying away from others who are ill when possible.
