Guidelines:

1. Wear a mask when you leave the house or spend time with anyone you don’t live with, indoors and out.

2. Stay 6 feet apart from each other.

3. Connect with your loved ones digitally or over the phone.

4. Meet outdoors whenever possible and keep groups small.

5. Wash your hands as often as you can.

6. Disinfect surfaces that are touched often -- door knobs, car doors, steering wheels and phones.

7. Assign one person to go to the grocery store no more than once per week.

8. Know the symptoms of COVID-19 and the phone number of a health care provider or community health worker you can call if someone gets sick. If you don’t have a health care provider, call 211.

9. Make a plan so that if someone at home does get sick, they can be isolated as much as possible until they recover.
