WASH YOUR HANDS

COVER YOUR  COUGHS & SNEEZES 
Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.  Use a tissue or your inner elbow, not your hands.

MASK UP IF YOU NEED TO
Wear a mask indoors and in crowded places if you are sick, or if you or someone in your household is  at increased risk of severe illness.

GET TESTED
Get tested if you have symptoms. Testing for flu and COVID-19 is available at pharmacies and health clinics in your community.

GET TREATMENT
If you test positive for a virus, talk to your doctor right away about treatment options.
