Prevent COVID-19 Spread to Others if You are Sick 

If you are sick with COVID-19 or think you might have it, take steps to help protect other people from getting sick:

1. Stay home except to get medical care. Call the doctor before visiting.
2. Separate yourself from others who live with you.
3. Wear a cloth face covering to protect others.
4. Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue and clean your hands right away.
5. Avoid sharing items with other people in your home. This includes things like towels and bedding. Be sure dishes are washed in hot water or the dishwasher before anyone else uses them.
   
6. Stay aware of how you feel. If you start to have difficulty breathing or if you are worried about your health, call your doctor.
