You may able to reduce your risk of getting or spreading an infection by: Washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Avoiding touching your face, nose, eyes, or mouth with unwashed hands. Avoiding close contact with people who are sick. Using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe to clean and disinfecting surfaces that you frequently touch. Covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue. Then throw away the tissue and wash your hands.
Use a face mask so you can prevent spreading COVID-19 to others. Face masks are recommended for people who are sick.
OSHA’s infection prevention recommendations follow the hierarchy of controls, including using engineering and administrative controls and safe work practices to protect workers from exposure to COVID-19. Depending on work tasks and potential exposures, appropriate PPE for protecting workers from the virus may include gloves, gowns, masks, goggles or face shields, and/or respirators.
CDC defines “close contact” as being about six feet from an infected person or within the room or care area of an infected patient for a prolonged period while not wearing recommended PPE. Close contact also includes instances where there is direct contact with infectious secretions while not wearing recommended PPE. Close contact generally does not include brief interactions, such as walking past a person.
Researchers looking back at prior outbreaks, such as the 1957 flu pandemic and the 2003 SARS epidemic, found that public health policies that kept people from gathering in public spaces — such as closing schools and canceling big events — helped slow the spread of disease.
Household disinfectants, such as bleach and alcohol-based cleaners, can kill the virus on tables, phones and other surfaces you regularly touch. Don’t share a cup. Don’t share eating utensils. Don’t share a toothbrush. In fact, don’t share anything that comes in direct contact with your mouth or nose.
“The main mode of transmission is respiratory droplets” that can be produced by speaking and coughing, says Dr. Adam Lauring, associate professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Michigan. “These droplets then can find their way into the mouths, noses of other people nearby.” Sneezing, another way droplets are spread, is not a common symptom of COVID-19, indicating that it’s not usually an upper respiratory infection, Aylward said.

You should definitely think twice before kissing. French Health Minister Olivier Véran has advised people to cut back on cheek kissing, a common greeting known as la bise. Even a kiss on the cheek from a coronavirus case could leave droplets that you would breathe in.
