Tips for Staying Healthy

1. Practice good hygiene. Wash your hands with soap, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing or coughing or cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow, and clean frequently touched objects regularly.
2. Limit exposure. Stay home when you’re sick. Don’t travel to high-risk places. This is a moving target, so pay attention if you’re traveling. The CDC website¹ includes information about areas of the U.S. and the world most affected by the coronavirus.
3. Get a flu shot. This safe and effective shot helps to prevent the flu, which causes thousands of hospital admissions and deaths each year.
4. Practice social distancing. Socialize online or by phone to avoid close contact with people. Follow us on Facebook to keep up with the latest from HMSA.
