Frequently wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soapy warm water. The soap suspends bacterial material from your skin, with the water washing the combination down the drain. While this may sound overly simplistic, it truly one on the most effective methods. If soap and water are not readily available, use your preferred hand sanitizer.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands. The mucous membranes in these areas can serve as a transport mechanism for COVID-19 to enter your system.

Avoid close contact with individuals who are ill. In other words, treat the COVID-19 the same way as other communicable infections or diseases. A good rule of thumb is to maintain at least six feet from individuals who are exhibiting symptoms.

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Discard the used tissue in a waste container or trash can. Wash your hands as soon as you can.

Drink fluids, the more frequently the better. In addition to helping to maintain overall wellbeing, drinking fluids helps avoid your mouth becoming dry. In turn, this reduces the potential for COVID-19 being introduced into your system.

Remain at home when you are sick. In addition to accelerating your recovery, it reduces the potential for COVID-19 to be spread to your co-workers.

If you need to leave your home while sick, wear a facemask. This reduces the potential for you to spread COVID-19 to others.

On a daily basis, clean and disinfect surfaces in the workplace that are touched frequently. Examples include doorknobs, light switches, phones, desks, faucets, kitchen areas, etc.
