•  Wash your hands and cover your cough. 

• Try not to touch your face. 

• Stay home as much as possible if you are sick, unless you need to seek medical care. 

• Get a flu shot. 

• Review your family’s health, now, and reach out to your doctor as needed, to make sure you are as healthy as you can be. 

• Think ahead about your prescription medications. 

• Reach out now to build your social circle and share contact information. 

• Think ahead about having some basic supplies on hand at home. 

1. Keep some basic sanitation and hygiene items at home, like soap, hand sanitizer, antibacterial wipes, garbage bags, and toilet paper.  
2. Keep some basic first aid supplies at home, like an inexpensive digital thermometer, gloves, and bandages. Over-the-counter medications are also helpful, including pain and fever relievers (Tylenol/acetaminophen or ibuprofen, including children’s versions) and medications to help relieve coughs, colds, or diarrhea.  
3. If you have special medical supply needs, try to have at least 30 days of supplies on hand (oxygen supplies, catheters, syringes, blood test monitors and strips, etc.)  
4. Ensure any medical equipment you use is in good repair. This includes oxygen equipment, nebulizers, and CPAP machines. It includes hearing aids, glasses, or assistive technologies. If you use a cane, crutch, walker, or wheelchair, ensure it is in good repair.  
5. Think about having nonperishable or canned food on hand, including if there are people in your family who need special foods (infants, people with dietary restrictions). Basics like rice, beans and peanut butter are inexpensive and keep well.  
6. Think about the non-food items you regularly purchase at the pharmacy or grocery store and try to have at least two weeks’ of supplies on hand (basics like toilet paper, toothpaste, menstrual supplies, condoms, batteries for hearing aids, and contact lens solution).  
7. Think about pet supplies (including pet medications), childcare supplies, and baby supplies like diapers.
