Practice good hygiene habits to avoid the spread of illness and to help keep you and your family healthy:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, or cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Can I get the virus if I come into contact with contaminated surfaces/objects?

It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is why experts recommend that you wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face. Our building and grounds staff have been increasing illness prevention procedures and cleaning measures.
