- Cough or Sneeze Into a Disposable Tissue and Discard. Use Your Elbow Only If You Have To. (The clothing on your elbow will contain infectious virus that can be passed on for up to a week or more.)
- Use disposable surgical masks to prevent you from touching your nose and/or mouth. (This is the only way this virus can infect you – it is lung-specific. The mask won’t prevent the virus if someone sneezes directly on you).
- CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a face mask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
