Control and Prevention tips on identifyin­g COVID-19:

Fever and cough are symptoms.

Most people have mild illness and are able to recover at home. If you think you may have been exposed to COVID-19, contact your health care provider immediatel­y. Keep track of symptoms. If you have an emergency warning sign (including trouble breathing), get medical attention right away.

Some people who are not showing symptoms could

have the illness.

Prevention is the best method for preventing illness. This includes:

Washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating and after nose-blowing, coughing or sneezing.

If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol.

Avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid contact with people who are sick; stay home if sick.

Wearing a face mask in public settings. The mask is intended to protect others.

Social distancing, stay 6 feet apart from others.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertop­s, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets and sinks.
