What You Can Do To Minimize Risk:

Experts’ understanding of how the virus spreads is still limited. There are four factors most likely playing a role:
1. How close you get;
2. How long you are near the person;
3. Whether that person projects viral droplets on you; and
4. How much you touch your face.

If your community is affected, you can help reduce your risk. Do your part to protect others. Follow these basic steps:
  •  Wash your hands!
  • Scrub with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and then
  • Dry them with a clean towel or let them air dry.
  • Keep distance from sick people.
  • Try to stay six feet away from anybody showing flu- or cold-like symptoms, and
  • Don’t go to work if you’re sick.
  • Prepare your family, and communicate your plan about evacuations, resources and supplies.
  • Experts suggest stocking at least a 30-day supply of any needed prescriptions.
  • Consider doing the same for food staples, laundry detergent and diapers, if you have small children.
