Wash or sanitize your hands: - Before you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth - Before and after you eat or make food - Before and after you’re around someone who’s sick - Before and after you touch your mask - After you blow your nose, cough, or sneeze - After you touch things in public, such as tables, doorknobs, gas pumps, shopping carts, electronic screens, or elevator buttons Physical distancing stems the spread of viruses in the air and germs that linger indoors. In general, this means 6 feet of space between you and other people.
