STAY HEALTHY-----------STAY AT HOME

or PLACED IN SELF-ISOLATION OR QUARATINE
Health care professionals remind anyone that has been tested for COVID-19 and are
awaiting a result and/or have been placed in self-isolation/quarantine, you must stay in self-
isolation/quarantine until you receive a release. This means absolutely no traveling outside

Social Distancing
Social Distancing is being encouraged from all levels of our
government. Social distancing is a term applied to certain actions that
are taken by Public Health officials to stop or slow down the spread
of a highly contagious disease (COVID-19). The KY Department of
Public Health has prepared this Social Distancing Information Sheet
- which recommends avoiding “close contact” with others by staying
“at least 6 feet away from others.” It is recommended that you avoid
playdates, parties, sleepovers, or families/friends visiting each other’s
houses.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your
nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily
available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all
surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
• Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care. Learn what to do if
you are sick.
• Cover coughs and sneezes. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue
when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow. Throw used
tissues in the trash. Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for
at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your
hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
