										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here’s some tips for protecting yourself from the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Coronavirus</a>:</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Steps to protect yourself:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Clean your hands often</strong><br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→</span> Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.<br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.<br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="What You Need To Know About Handwashing" width="851" height="479" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d914EnpU4Fo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Avoid close contact</strong><br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>Avoid close contact with people who are sick<br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Steps to protect others:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Stay home if you’re sick</strong><br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care.</p>
<p><strong>Cover coughs and sneezes</strong><br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.<br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>Throw used tissues in the trash.<br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.</p>
<p><strong>Wear a facemask if you are sick</strong><br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>If you are sick: You should wear a facemask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. If you are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then you should do your best to cover your coughs and sneezes, and people who are caring for you should wear a facemask if they enter your room.</p>
<p><strong>If you are NOT sick:</strong> You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers.</p>

<p><strong>Clean and disinfect</strong><br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.<br />
If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.</p>
<p><strong>To disinfect:</strong></p>
<p>Diluting your household bleach.<br />
To make a bleach solution, mix:<br />
5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water<br />
OR<br />
4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>SYMPTOMS:</strong></span></p>
<p>The following symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure.*</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>Fever<br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>Cough<br />
<span style="color: #800000;">→ </span>Shortness of breath</p>
