Covid-19 Preventions
How can I protect myself from COVID-19?
Stay Informed on Prevention & Tracking Updates
We strongly encourage everyone, from providers to business owners and patients, to stay up-to-date on the latest information from the CDC regarding prevention and social gatherings. You should also check your state or county’s public health website for updates on rules and restrictions in your area, as some areas have already implemented shelter-in-place orders. Experts urge individuals to minimize exposure by washing hands often, regularly cleaning surfaces, avoiding frequent contact with eyes and mouth and avoiding all social gatherings over 10 people.
You can also track the location of confirmed and active cases within the United States using the Johns Hopkins Interactive tracking map. However, due to a shortage of testing supplies, even the most reliable sources of information may not accurately portray the full scope of the virus.
