Stay home!: Good hand washing, not touching your face, staying home, and wearing a face mask when you do need to go out with others are the best recommendations currently. It is recommended that your children also stay home and communicate virtually with friends and family. Playing outdoors is fine, but only with immediate family living in your household.

Avoid the virus: Wash hands (or use sanitizer) often for at least 20 seconds. Wash hands before touching eyes, nose or mouth. Use a cloth cover over mouth & nose when around others. Stay home as much as possible. Avoid sick people. Distance at least 6 feet from others. Clean/ disinfect frequently used surfaces. Arrange play dates using Zoom or other platforms.
