Best Practices For Protecting Yourself
The County Health Department is asking that everyone continue to follow these simple tips to protect yourself and those around you during the COVID-19 pandemic:
ª Maintain social distancing by avoiding close contact with others (about 6 feet);
ª Wear a cloth face covering that covers your nose and mouth when in public settings;
ª Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces often;
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol;
If you are sick, take the following steps to help prevent the spread of COVID-19:
• Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care;
• If seeking medical attention, call ahead;
• Avoid public transportation or ride-sharing;
• Separate yourself from other people and pets within your home;
• Anyone experiencing symptoms or that may have been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 is asked to contact their healthcare provider or the County Health Department for testing. Residents are encouraged to follow the County Health Department Facebook page for up-to-date information on testing opportunities. Individuals testing positive or identified as a “close contact” during the contact tracing investigation will be contacted with further care instructions.
