What are the precautions we are taking at home against COVID-19?
Answers
Answer:
To protect others at home, someone who is sick should:
As much as possible, keep away from other people and pets in the home.
Wear a mask if they must be around other people. Masks shouldn't be worn by kids younger than 2 years old or anyone who has trouble breathing. For more about masks, check the CDC's guide.
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, throw the tissue away, and then wash their hands right away. Wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
If possible, stay in a bedroom and use a bathroom separate from other people in the home.
Use separate dishes, glasses, cups, and eating utensils and not share these with other household members. After use, run them through the dishwasher or wash with very hot soapy water.
Use separate bedding and towels and not share these with other household members.
Answer:
Avoid touching surfaces, especially in public settings or health facilities, in case people infected with COVID-19 have touched them. Clean surfaces regularly with standard disinfectants.
