How to Protect Yourself

COVID-19_prevent_spread.pdf
With the increase in cases around the nation and specifically here, in Isabella County, Nimkee Public Health would like to remind everyone of the steps you can take to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
Know how it spreads
There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.
The virus is thought to
spread mainly from person-to-person
.
Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks.
These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
Some recent studies have suggested that COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.
Everyone Should Wash your hands often
Wash your hands
often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
It’s especially important to wash:
Before eating or preparing food
Before touching your face
After using the restroom
After leaving a public place
After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
After handling your cloth face covering
After changing a diaper
After caring for someone sick
After touching animals or pets
If soap and water are not readily available,
use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol
. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
Avoid touching
your eyes, nose, and mouth
with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact
Inside your home:
Avoid close contact with people who are sick
.
If possible, maintain 6 feet between the person who is sick and other household members.
Outside your home:
Put 6 feet of distance between yourself and people who don’t live in your household.
Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread virus.
Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) from other people
.
Keeping distance from others is especially important for
people who are at higher risk of getting very sick
.
Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others
You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.
The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.
Everyone should wear a
cloth face cover
in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other
social distancing
measures are difficult to maintain.
Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
Do NOT use a facemask meant for a healthcare worker. Currently, surgical masks and N95 respirators are critical supplies that should be reserved for healthcare workers and other first responders.
Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.
Cover coughs and sneezes
Always cover your mouth and nose
with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow and do not spit.
Throw used tissues
in the trash.
Immediately
wash your hands
with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Clean and disinfect
Clean AND disinfect
frequently touched surfaces
daily
. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
If surfaces are dirty, clean them.
Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
Then, use a household disinfectant.
Most common
EPA-registered household disinfectants
will work.
Monitor Your Health Daily
Be alert for symptoms.
Watch for fever, cough, shortness of breath, or
other symptoms
of COVID-19.
Especially important if you are
running essential errands
, going into the office or workplace, and in settings where it may be difficult to keep a
physical distance of 6 feet
.
Take your temperature
if symptoms develop.
Don’t take your temperature within 30 minutes of exercising or after taking medications that could lower your temperature, like acetaminophen.
Follow
CDC guidance
if symptoms develop.
