page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Preparing Your Home and Family for COVID-19
What steps can my family take to reduce our risk of getting COVID-19?
section_content: Practice everyday preventive actions to help reduce your risk of getting sick
and remind everyone in your home to do the same. These actions are especially
important for older adults and people who have severe chronic medical
conditions:

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home when you are sick, except to get medical care.
Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue and throw the tissue in the trash.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing; going to the bathroom; and before eating or preparing food.
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects (e.g., tables, countertops, light switches, doorknobs, and cabinet handles).
Launder items, including washable plush toys, as appropriate and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If possible, launder items using the warmest appropriate water setting for the items and dry items completely. Dirty laundry from an ill person can be washed with other people’s items.

Create and test communications plans for use with the school community.
Review CDC’s guidance for business and employers.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer is about what schools can do to deal with the pandemic, while the question is about tribes.
This answer is irrelevant to the question. The answer provides information of how schools can prepare for Covid-19 and the question is asking how tribal communities should prepare for increase death due to Covid-19.

How can communities plan for an increase in the number of deaths?
section_content: Tribes have asked for guidance to help them plan for increased death from
COVID-19. While an increase in deaths may be a very difficult topic to discuss
and plan for, tribal leaders have resources to help:

Resources for emergency preparedness.
CDC Interim Guidance for Administrators and Leaders of Community- and Faith-Based Organizations to Plan, Prepare, and Respond to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Tribal leaders can also do the following:

Postpone large events, including celebrations such as funerals, weddings, baptisms, and holiday gatherings.
Limit gatherings to a small number (less than 10) of family and friends and ensure social distancing and hand washing.
