With community transmission now identified, it is more important than ever that people follow public health recommendations to prevent the spread of COVID -19.

CDH recommends that everyone:

• Follow the statewide Stay-Home Order
• Practice social distancing: avoid crowds, maintain at least 6 feet from others
• Stay home if you are sick, even if symptoms are mild
• Only leave your home for "essential activities" or to work for an "essential business"
• Wash your hands frequently
• Use drive through and delivery services for everyday errands where possible
• Persons at increased risk of severe illness should consider sheltering in place
• Do not host or attend any gatherings
• Limit unnecessary travel
• Persons with recent travel to an area having widespread community transmission or a shelter in place order should shelter in place at home until 14 days after return
• Create a plan for how to safely care for a household member if they become ill
