  The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to or spreading the virus that causes COVID-19:
  
  • Wash your hands often.
  
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick and people who don’t live in your household.
  
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others.
  
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes.
  
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
  
  • Monitor your health daily.
  
  Getting a flu vaccine is more important than ever this flu season to protect yourself, your family and your community from flu. A flu vaccine can also help reduce the burden on our healthcare systems responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and save medical resources for care of COVID-19 patients.
  
  If you think you may have been exposed to a person with COVID-19, contact your healthcare provider.
