The following are things everyone should already know and be doing, but I'm starting with the basics.
- Frequently wash your hands or use a hand sanitizer.

- When you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth with a flexed elbow (not your hand), or use a tissue and then immediately discard the tissue into a closed bin.
- Avoid close contact with anyone who has a fever and cough.
- If you have a fever, a cough, and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early, and be sure to tell your medical providers about any recent travel. If you have only mild respiratory symptoms do 1-3 and stay home until you've recovered.
- Maintain social distancing--at least 3 feet--between you and anyone coughing or sneezing.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay informed and follow any and all advice given by your healthcare providers. (Trustworthy sources of ongoing coronavirus information will be the subject of my next #ThingsYouCanDo post.)
