How you can stay safe

Person washing their hands The short answer:
Keep calm and thoroughly wash your hands often.

The long answer? Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands, and avoid close contact with people who are sick. If you have cold-like symptoms, stay at home as a courtesy to your co-workers. And if you share a work station or equipment with others, consider wiping it down with disinfectant wipes after use.
