Health organizations like the CDC and OSHA recommend several tips to staying healthy during the COVID-19 outbreak. These tips include:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Stay home when you are sick
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If a tissue isn’t available, cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
• If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
• Practice social distancing
