Coronavirus: Be Prepared

With an increasing number of coronavirus cases in the U.S., it's up to all of us to prepare and educate ourselves about steps we can take to protect our families and communities.

To help you and your family stay healthy, we have put coronavirus resources from the CDC, the State of Maine, and other organizations in one place.

Plan Ahead, Be Ready:

Take these simple steps to prevent contracting or spreading the virus:

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

  • Stay home when you are sick.

  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

  • Follow the CDC's recommendations for using a facemask.

    • Facemasks should be used to help prevent the spread of the disease to others.

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

    • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
