Wear a face mask when you are around other people, especially when you are indoors. Make sure that your face mask covers your nose, mouth, and chin. Maintain several feet of physical distance between yourself and others. Avoid being around large groups of people. Avoid poorly ventilated areas. Particularly high-risk settings include those where people gather in crowded indoor settings and talk loudly, shout, breathe heavily, or sing, such as restaurants, choir practices, fitness classes, nightclubs, offices, and places of worship. Wash your hands with soap and water after touching commonly used objects or surfaces. Avoid touching your face. Avoid contact with people who are currently infected with COVID-19. Get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible to lower the risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms.
