- During trips or outdoor exercise, practice social distancing by maintaining six feet between you and others at all times.
- Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow. IMMEDIATELY throw used tissues in the trash.

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
