What You Can Do:

Here is a list of steps you can take to help prevent respiratory illness, including the coronavirus, during this flu season:

  • It’s the CDC’s recommendation that Americans wear non-surgical face masks in public — especially in places "where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain."
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
  • A mask can be effective if you are ill and can prevent the spread of your illness.
  • Travelers are asked to review any Travel Advisories and Alerts for their destination(s) here.

The State Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide specific advice to travelers on its websites. For more information on how residents can prepare their home, click here.
