Health and Safety During the COVID-19 Pandemic

One of the best ways to help slow the spread of the pandemic is to stay informed on the latest information. These health guidelines will help you, your family, and your community stay safe and well.

COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. It is spread mainly from person to person, particularly through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Symptoms can range from mild (or no symptoms) to severe illness.

Everyone is at risk of getting COVID-19. Older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions may be at higher risk for more severe illness.

Masks and Face Coverings

Masks that cover the nose and mouth have been shown to be one of the best ways to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus, along with hand washing, social distancing, and other safety steps. If someone has COVID-19, even if they don’t feel sick, tiny droplets that contain the COVID-19 virus can come out of their nose and mouth when they breathe, talk, or sneeze. A mask stops those droplets from spreading in the air. A good mask can also help protect the wearer, by filtering respiratory droplets from other people out of the air you breathe in.

Mask Wearing for Children

Kids can help play a part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by wearing masks in public. To wear a mask, children should be over the age of two, developmentally capable of wearing a mask, and have no health conditions that would make mask-wearing unsafe. If a child is sleeping or incapable of removing a mask on their own they should not wear one.

Safer Sex During COVID-19

During the pandemic, its a good idea to limit close contact, including sex, with people outside your household. Any type of in-person sexual activity does carry some risk. But there are ways to have intimate contact and remain connected. If you do have sexual partners outside your household, there are steps you can take to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
