• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available. 
• Did we mention...WASH YOUR HANDS and DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE!

What do I do if I become infected?

If symptoms become severe, go immediately to your nearest hospital for evaluation.
