Avoid people: You can only get coronavirus from an infected person, who may be asymptomatic. Avoid people as much as you can.

Avoidance: 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.
