The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) says frequent hand washing can reduce exposure to and prevent the spreading of the coronavirus. The CDC also recommends:
- Staying home if you have flu-like symptoms
- Avoiding contact with people who are sick
- Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
- Coughing and sneezing into a tissue and then immediately throwing the tissue in the trash
