- And you have no fever without the use of fever-reducing medication

Prevention is the best strategy to reduce your risk of viral infection.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are unavailable.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick or people outside of your home - keep at least a 6-foot distance. Remember that some people without symptoms can spread the virus.
- Wear a well fitting mask in poorly ventilated spaces and crowds.
- Disinfect commonly touched surfaces such as counters, tables, keyboards, and doorknobs.
- Avoid sharing drinks, eating utensils, sports equipment, towels and bedding.
- Keep healthy by eating a balanced diet, drinking water, getting enough sleep, and managing stress.
- Obtain a preventative vaccine such as the COVID-19 vaccine or flu shot if available.
