According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and WDH, the best ways to slow the spread of COVID-19 include: avoid close contact with people, especially those who are sick (e.g., social distancing); stay home if sick or at risk; avoid touching your face; cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm; clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces; and wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Cancel events of 50 or more people; if a group includes a person at risk, limit it to 10 or fewer. If you are at risk, stay home.
