How You Can Stay Healthy
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and CDC recommend personal hygiene and frequent hand washing as the best way to prevent illness. This includes:
- Wash your hands frequently and at least for 20 seconds.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
- Avoid contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
- While not protective against novel coronavirus, public health officials also recommend the influenza vaccine. It’s not too late to get an influenza vaccine, since flu season can last into spring.
