Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Personal Prevention & Protection

To protect yourself and your loved ones remember these key best practices:

Get vaccinated and stay up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccines are safe, effective and free for anyone aged 5+, and they reduce the chance of hospitalization and death.
Have a plan for testing – Keep rapid antigen tests at home so they are ready when needed. Find kits here.
Keep your well-fitting masks and think about wearing them, especially when close to people at high risk for severe disease or in crowded settings even if you are vaccinated.
Keep your loved ones and community safe by following the CDC Isolation and Quarantine Calculator guidelines.
If you are not up to date on COVID-19 vaccines, stay at least 6 feet away from other people indoors in public, especially if you are at higher risk of getting very sick with COVID-19.
Wash your hands frequently, or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
Increase airflow and ventilation – While indoors, use HEPA filters or increase airflow by opening windows. Spend time outside whenever possible.
Cover coughs and sneezes
If you get sick, get treatment within 5 days of symptoms. The oral medication Paxlovid is available for COVID-19 treatment for persons at higher risk of more severe infection.
If you are immunocompromised or at high risk for severe disease:
- Talk to your healthcare provider about whether you need to wear a mask and take other precautions.
- Talk to your healthcare provider about whether you are a candidate for treatments like oral antivirals.
