The best way to curb the spread Covid-19 is to stay home if you can.
That’s true even now that more than half of US states will start reopening nonessential businesses like salons, restaurants and gyms.
This isn’t an immediate return to normalcy, health officials have warned that reopening now could mean a resurgence of the virus.
Officials say if you’re reentering public spaces, try not to visit all of them.
For example if you go to your polling place to vote don’t also go out to eat that night or get a haircut.
The more places you visit the more higher your likelihood of becoming infected or infecting others.
Here’s a reminder of the basics of social distancing.
Keep at least six feet of distance from other people if you can.
Wear a cloth mask that covers your mouth and nose if you’re able to.
Don’t take it off while you’re out.
This prevents you from coughing, sneezing and breathing out the virus if you’re asymptomatic.
Wash hands for 20 seconds with soap and water.
Do this before, during and after your trip to a public place.
Don’t go out if you feel sick or have come in contact with someone who’s sick.
Older adults and people with chronic illnesses should stay home too.
