Please take steps to protect yourself. The ADH recommends:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Practice social distancing. Avoid close contact with others, especially those who are sick, by keeping at least 6 feet between you and others.
• Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care. If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever, cough, or shortness of breath, call your health care provider. Your physician will decide if testing is necessary based on your symptoms and known exposures.
