How the Virus Spreads
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the novel coronavirus is spread from person-to-person. This includes people who are in close contact with one another (within 6 feet) and through respiratory droplets when someone coughs or sneezes.
Symptoms & Best Practices
High fever, cough, and shortness of breath are all signs of the novel coronavirus, and these symptoms may appear anywhere from 2-14 days after exposure. If you exhibit any of these symptoms, it’s essential that you immediately self-quarantine. This means staying home from work and limiting your exposure to friends and family. If you need to seek medical care, avoid using public transportation and keep your distance from crowds. Guidance on cloth face coverings
How to Prevent Infection

Wash your hands with hot water and soap for 20 seconds.
-

-
Cover your cough or sneeze with tissues.
-
Practice social distancing for at least 15 days to slow the spread of the virus.

Avoid groups of more than 10 people.
