STAY SAFE OHIO PROTOCOL

1. STAY AT HOME.

 Home is the safest place. Only leave home for household essentials, medical care, work, and school.

 If possible, use drive- thru, curbside pick- up, or delivery services to limit face- to- face contact with others or shop online.

2. Wear your mask.

 Wear a mask whenever you are around anyone you don’t live with.

3. Keep interactions short and stay apart.

 The more people you interact with and the longer amount of time you spend together, the higher your risk of becoming infected or spreading the virus to others.

4. Wash your hands.

 Clean hands are a key to preventing the spread of COVID- 19.

5. Work from home.

 Everyone who can work from home should work from home. All meetings should be virtual.

6. Celebrate safe. Celebrate small.

 As people gather for the holidays, remember that older family members and those with medical conditions are especially vulnerable to COVID- 19, so take extra measures to protect them.

7. Don’t eat or drink with anyone outside of your household.

 Eating and drinking with others is risky because you can’t wear a mask while eating and drinking.

Limiting meals to those within your own household is safest.

 Home delivery, curbside pick- up, drive- thru windows, and take- out services are the best options when getting meals out.

8. Limit travel. 10. Enjoy safe holiday activities!

 Stay connected with friends and family who don’t live in your home by calling, using video chat, or through social media.

 Choose drive- thru holiday light shows and virtual celebrations over in- person holiday activities.
