Coronavirus COVID-19: What You Should Know
The Jefferson County Department of Health is reminding everyone to carefully follow these recommendations:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Put
distance between yourself and other people. This is especially
important for people who are older or who have chronic medical
conditions including lung disease, heart disease, and diabetes. This may
mean avoiding large gatherings including worship services.
- 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.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
