Safety Tips For Covid-19

Get Vaccinated and stay up to date on your COVID-19
vaccines
 COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing you from getting sick. COVID-19
vaccines are highly effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations, and
death.
 Getting vaccinated is the best way to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus
that causes COVID-19.
 CDC recommends that everyone who is eligible stay up to date on their
COVID-19 vaccines, including people with weakened immune systems.

Wear a mask
 Everyone ages 2 years and older should properly wear a well-fitting mask
indoors in public in areas where the COVID-19 Community Level is high,
regardless of vaccination status.
 Wear a mask with the best fit, protection, and comfort for you.
 If you are in an area with a high COVID-19 Community Level and are ages 2 or
older, wear a mask indoors in public.
 If you are sick and need to be around others, or are caring for someone who
has COVID-19, wear a mask.
 If you are at increased risk for severe illness, or live with or spend time with
someone at higher risk, speak to your healthcare provider about wearing a
mask at medium COVID-19 Community Levels.
 People who have a condition or are taking medications that weaken their
immune system may not be fully protected even if they are up to date on their
COVID-19 vaccines. They should talk to their healthcare providers about what
additional precautions may be necessary.

Immunocompromised People
Wearing a mask over your nose and mouth is required on planes, buses, trains,
and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the
United States and while indoors at U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and
stations. Travelers are not required to wear a mask in outdoor areas of a
conveyance (like on open deck areas of a ferry or the uncovered top deck of a
bus).

Stay 6 feet away from others
 Inside your home: Avoid close contact with people who are sick, if possible. If
possible, maintain 6 feet between the person who is sick and other household
members. If you are taking care of someone who is sick, make sure you
properly wear a well-fitting mask and follow other steps to protect yourself.
 Indoors in public: If you are not up to date on COVID-19 vaccines, stay at least
6 feet away from other people, especially if you are at higher risk of getting
very sick with COVID-19.

Avoid poorly ventilated spaces and crowds
 If indoors, bring in fresh air by opening windows and doors, if possible.
 If you are at increased risk of getting very sick from COVID-19, avoid crowded
places and indoor spaces that do not have fresh air from the outdoors.

Test to prevent spread to others
 You can choose from many different types of tests.

 Tests for SARS-CoV-2(the virus that causes COVID-19) tell you if you have an
infection at the time of the test. This type of test is called a viral test because it
looks for viral infection.
 Regardless of the test type you select, a positive test result means that you
have an infection and should isolate and inform your close contacts to avoid
spreading disease to others.
 Over-the-counter self-tests are viral tests that can be used at home or
anywhere, are easy to use, and produce rapid results. Anyone can use self-
tests, regardless of their vaccination status or whether they have symptoms.
 COVID-19 self-tests are one of many risk-reduction measures, along with
vaccination, masking, and physical distancing, that protect you and others by
reducing the chances of spreading COVID-19.
