Center for Disease Control Recommendations
Everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, includingAvoid close contact with people who are sickAvoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouthStay home when you are sick
![Page 17: Montgomery County CERT COVID-19 Task Forcemontgomerycert.org › wp-content › uploads › 2020 › 03 › ... · Montgomery County CERT COVID-19 Task Force Program Manager: Greg](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042404/5f192c10baa1391160492ffe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Protective Measures
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash
If no tissue, cover your cough with your elbow, NOT with your hands
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe
![Page 18: Montgomery County CERT COVID-19 Task Forcemontgomerycert.org › wp-content › uploads › 2020 › 03 › ... · Montgomery County CERT COVID-19 Task Force Program Manager: Greg](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042404/5f192c10baa1391160492ffe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hand Washing is Most EffectiveWash your hands often with soap and water
for at least 20 seconds, especiallyWhen caring for the sickBefore, during and after you prepare foodBefore eatingAfter going to the bathroomafter blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol
Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty

Should I Wear A Mask To Protect Myself?
People with no respiratory symptoms, such as cough, do not need to wear a medical mask
MCFRS, in collaboration with state health and county officials, strictly follows the CDC guidelines
At this time the "CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask
to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.”
![Page 20: Montgomery County CERT COVID-19 Task Forcemontgomerycert.org › wp-content › uploads › 2020 › 03 › ... · Montgomery County CERT COVID-19 Task Force Program Manager: Greg](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042404/5f192c10baa1391160492ffe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
MCFRS Reminds the Public
Our first responders who wear masks only wear them when they are going to be within 6 feet of a person under investigation for airborne illness or when they are doing aggressive airway interventions that could cause increased respiratory exposures
First responders do not wear masks in routine day-to-day scenarios
