The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified three primary ways to slow the spread of coronavirus:

• Wear a mask to protect yourself and others and stop the spread of COVID-19.
• Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from others who don’t live with you.
• Avoid crowds. The more people you are in contact with, the more likely you are to be exposed to COVID-19.
