Healthy Tips to Fight COVID19 (Kiddos)

Help stop the spread of COVID-19 by doing the same things everyone should do to stay healthy. Clean hands often using soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

• Avoid people who are sick (coughing and sneezing).
• Put distance between your children and other people outside of your home. Keep children at least 6 feet from other people.
• Children 2 years and older should wear a cloth face coveringover their nose and mouth when in public settings where it’s difficult to practice social distancing. This is an additional public health measure people should take to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in addition to (not instead of) the other everyday preventive actions listed above.
• Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces daily in household common areas (like tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, light switches, remotes, handles, desks, toilets, and sinks).
• Launder items including washable plush toys as needed. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If possible, launder items using the warmest appropriate water setting and dry items completely. Dirty laundry from an ill person can be washed with other people’s items.
