CDC recommendations describe that people should wear masks in all public settings and when around people outside of their household; especially when other social distancing practices are difficult to maintain. Masks may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others.
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Learn how COVID-19 spreads and practice these actions to help prevent the spread of this illness.
How to Prevent Coronavirus Spreading for Businesses
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, make sure your employees take these actions:
- Clean your hands very frequently.
Try washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds as often as possible. When washing your hands in a sink isn't readily doable, using a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol will also be effective for preventing the spread of COVID-19. - Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Distance yourself from others at least 6 feet to maintain a safe range in case of a cough or sneeze.
- Wear a mask.
Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others, you may still be able to spread the virus even if you don't have any symptoms. - Cough and sneeze into a tissue or your elbow completely covering your nose/mouth.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue directly into the trash. Remember to always wash your hands afterwards. - Disinfect surfaces daily.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces daily throughout the workplace.
