As a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including: - Avoid close contact with those who are sick. - Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. - If you are feeling sick stay home. - Ensure that when you cough or sneeze you cover your mouth or use a tissue, then throw tissue in the trash. - Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a healthcare facility).
