• Wear a Mask: Wear a mask outside of your home in places where you cannot maintain physical distance.
• Wash your Hands Often: Wash your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds, using soap and water.
• Stay Home if you are Sick: If you are experiencing symptoms, stay home and schedule a test. Please do not leave self-quarantine until you receive a negative test or have isolated for the recommended amount of time.
