Health & Safety

Care for yourself and help protect others in your home and community.

The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads through the air when people are close together for long periods of time. Stop the spread of COVID-19:

Wear a mask whenever you leave home, including if you are outdoors and can't physically distance from people you don't live with.
Wash your hands often with soap and water (or use hand sanitzer).
Limit close contact with anyone you don't live with who is unvaccinated by keeping at least 6 feet apart.
When you're ready, get vaccinated. COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, free and widely available.
If you feel sick, get tested and then stay home.
Gather outdoors or maximize fresh air flow by opening windows and doors.
