Tips from the DC Mayor's Office to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus:

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if you have symptoms of acute respiratory illness.
Stay home from work or school until you are free of fever, signs of a fever, and any other symptoms for at least 24 hours and without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-altering medications.
Seek medical attention if you have reason to believe you have been exposed to coronavirus or influenza. Call your healthcare provider before visiting a healthcare facility.
Find more information about COVID-19 at DC Health, the CDC, and the U.S. Department of State.
