15 Days to Slow<br />

the Spread<br />

White House Coronavirus Task Force<br />

issued new guidelines to help protect<br />

Americans during the global Coronavirus<br />

outbreak.<br />

The new recommendations are simple<br />

to follow but will have a resounding impact<br />

on public health. Every American can<br />

help slow the virus’ spread and keep our<br />

most high-risk populations safe:<br />

1. Listen to and follow the directions of<br />

your state and local authorities.<br />

2. If you feel sick, stay home. Do not go<br />

to work. Contact your medical provider.<br />

3. If your children are sick, keep them<br />

at home. Contact your medical provider.<br />

4. If someone in your household has<br />

tested positive for the Coronavirus, keep<br />

the entire household at home.<br />

5. If you are an older American, stay<br />

home and away from other people.<br />

6. If you are a person with a serious<br />

underlying health condition—such as a<br />

significant heart or lung problem—stay<br />

home and away from other people.<br />

Today’s guidelines build on the CDC’s<br />

general recommendations to help prevent<br />

spread of the virus. Americans<br />

should continue practicing strict personal<br />

hygiene, including washing hands<br />

regularly for at least 20 seconds at a time<br />

and wiping down surfaces in the home<br />

often.<br />

Even if you are young and otherwise<br />

healthy, you are at risk—and your activities<br />

can increase the risk of contracting<br />

the Coronavirus for others. Everyone<br />

must do their part.<br />

There’s no better way to protect your<br />

family and your community than by arming<br />

yourself with accurate, up-to-date information.<br />
