The novel coronavirus and the resulting COVID-19 respiratory infection has spread across the world, including the US, with cases expanding into the millions in the weeks since the World Health Organization officially declared the disease a pandemic in March. Though COVID-19 cases seem to be flattening out or even dwindling in some places, they are on the rise in others. Whether those increases are still the first wave of the viral spread or a second wave is beyond the point: It's important to know that the virus is still here and everyone should still take steps to protect themselves and others from this infectious disease. In this article, you'll learn how to protect yourself from COVID-19.

How likely are you to get the coronavirus?
Anyone can contract COVID-19, although certain groups of people have a higher risk of developing serious complications from the virus and requiring hospitalization. Many people who get the coronavirus will experience cold- or flu-like symptoms, and some people who get the virus will be completely asymptomatic. But no matter which group you fall into, everyone has a responsibility to limit the spread to other people, especially to those who may develop deadly complications, Dr. Tom Moorcroft, an osteopathic doctor who specializes in infectious disease, tells CNET.
Thankfully, many of the actions you would take to protect yourself can also protect other people.

The coronavirus is spread through respiratory vapor, such as when someone sneezes or coughs into the air around you. It can also spread if someone who is infected sneezes or coughs into their hand, then touches a door handle, light switch or other "high-touch" surfaces that people touch all the time. As of May, however, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has specified that surfaces aren't the main way the virus spreads. Avoiding close person-to-person contact is the best way to protect yourself.
Influenza viruses and common cold viruses also spread similarly to the coronavirus, so if you're ever unsure of what to do to protect yourself, consider how you would act if you knew that everyone around you had the flu. With that, here are the best ways to protect yourself from the novel coronavirus.

Wash your hands
Yes, this is still the No. 1 way to prevent getting the coronavirus, Moorcroft says. "The things you should do to protect yourself from the coronavirus are things you should do every day," he points out. "The No. 1 thing you can do to prevent any respiratory illness is to practice good personal hygiene."
Washing your hands correctly -- using soap and water and washing for at least 20 seconds -- or using hand sanitizer when soap and water aren't available, still stands as the best way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, according to the CDC.
Wear a face mask
The CDC still recommends that everyone wear a cloth face covering (not a mask meant for a health care worker) when out in public, such as at the grocery store or bank. This is less to protect yourself and more to protect other people from you, in case you have the virus and have the potential to transmit it.
