Stay home except to get medical care: Do not go to work, school, or public areas. Avoid public transportation, ride-sharing or taxis.

Separate yourself from other people in your home: Stay in a specific room away from others and use separate bathroom.

Call your doctor ahead of any visit: This will help your doctor's office take steps to keep other people from getting infected or exposed.

Wear a facemask: Wear a facemask if you will be around other people or in a doctor's office.

Cover your coughs and sneezes: Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw used tissues in a lined trash can.

Clean your hands: Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry. Soap and water should be used if hands are visibly dirty. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid sharing personal household items: You should not share dishes, drinking cups, utensils, towels, or bedding with other people in your home. After using these items, they should be laundered with soap and water.
