The current Public Health recommendations for Arizona are 1) Cancel or postpone any gatherings that involve 50 or more people (birthdays, weddings, conferences, classes, etc.), 2) Increase hand hygiene (wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds), 3) Stay home when sick, and 4) Telework if possible or other alternatives when available. In addition, the Arizona Department of Health Services recommends that you practice the following actions: 1) Washing hands - if soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, it is especially important to clean hands after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose. 2) Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, 3) avoid close contact with people who are sick, 4) cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your sleeve, not your hands, and 5) clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. Please practice social distancing.
