Avoid Close Contact
The best way to avoid the virus is to avoid being exposed. Keep six-foot physical distancing at all outdoor activities including pools and golf courses. Put distance between yourself and people outside your home. Keeping a six-foot distance from others is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick. Keep yourself safe when receiving visitors. A cloth face mask is not a substitute for six-foot physical distancing.
