HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS

You can protect yourself and help prevent spreading the virus to others if you:

Do:

Wear a mask in public. Masks should fit well with no gaps and fit over nose and mouth.

Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub.

Cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or flexed elbow when you cough or sneeze.

Practice social distancing—stay at least 6 feet from people.

Follow guidance from the state on avoiding large gatherings.

Self-isolate from others in the household if you feel unwell.

Don't:

Touch your eyes, nose, or mouth if your hands are not clean.

Thank you for doing your part to keep EVERYONE healthy and safe during this challenging time.

SCAM Alerts:

Please be aware there is an increase in health scams and scams directly related to COVID-19 selling bogus products and providing false information on tests and treatments.
Scams related to COVID-19 are climbing with the continued confirmations of positive COVID-19 cases in the United States. These attempts to obtain the personal information of consumers include online posts pitching unreliable products, advice, fake tests and cures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Attorney General Dana Nessel also warns Michigan residents that misinformation about COVID-19 symptoms and treatment falsely attributed to a “Stanford Hospital board member” is being widely circulated on social media.
If you believe you are the target of a scam, hang up the phone and verify the identity of the caller independently. Do not give out any personal information unless you have first confirmed who you are talking to is actually who they claim to be.

Information around the COVID-19 outbreak is changing rapidly. The latest information is available by visiting Michigan’s Coronavirus website or via the CDC’s website.
