Get tested.

Get tested if you:

  • Have COVID-19 symptoms.
  • Have been around someone with COVID-19 in the last 5 days.
  • Plan to travel or have returned from travel.

Get free COVID-19 test kits to use anywhere for quick results.

Go to a test site.

Wear the right mask, the right way. 
  • People who reported wearing a mask in indoor public settings were less likely to test positive for COVID-19.
  • Wear the most protective mask you can that fits well, is most comfortable for you, and that you will wear consistently every time.
  • Get free N95 masks at your drug store. These are provided by the government as of February 2022. N95 masks provide the most protection from COVID-19.
  • Check before buying. If you buy N95 masks, be sure to buy from a supplier approved by the CDC. More than half of masks marked N95 do not meet CDC standards.

Wash your hands.

Wash your hands after:

  • Caring for someone who is sick.
  • Leaving a public place.
  • Taking off your mask.
  • Touching your mask.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. If you can’t wash, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.

Keep your distance.
  • Stay 6 feet away from people who don’t live in your household.
  • Remember that even people with no symptoms can spread the virus.
  • Being in crowded places, like restaurants, bars, fitness centers, or movie theaters, puts you at higher risk for COVID-19.
  • Consider using a self-test before indoor gatherings.
