Key Points

Coronaviruses can spread through close personal contact or by touching an object or surface with the virus on it.

Steps to prevent other respiratory infections will help to prevent Novel Coronavirus.

Everyone particularly those who are 65 and over, those with underlying health conditions, and pregnant women should avoid any non-essential travel, public gathering, or places where large groups of people congregate.

Stay home when you are sick.

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If you do not have a tissue, use your sleeve (not your hands).

If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Public Health is working hard to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus in LA County.
