Rolling 7-Day Average Covid-19 Cases in the City CURRENT ORDERS IN EFFECT

BE PREPARED!
Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds and frequently.
Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer, but handwashing is better.
When coughing/sneezing, cover your mouth with your sleeve or a tissue (throw the tissue away immediately). Should you choose, covering your face with cloth material. See Guidance for Cloth Face Covering
Clean and disinfect your home, workspace, and care to remove germs. Practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces (e.g. tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks & cell phones).
Practice social distancing (masks are limited value unless you are sick or a health worker). Limit close contact and avoid other social norms, such as shaking hands, hugs and other close contact in the foreseeable future. Elbow bumps are a good alternative.
Have provisions that will last a few days (water, food, essential hygiene, etc.)
Get immunized against the flu. This will relieve what could be a highly impacted healthcare system.
Stay home when you’re sick. Don’t wait until you are VERY sick.
Have a supply of medications on hand. Consider contacting your healthcare provider to ask about obtaining extra necessary medications should you need to stay home for a prolonged period of time.
Be sure you have over-the-counter medicines, medical supplies (tissues, etc.) to treat fever and other symptoms.

	People who have traveled to or from Wuhan, China since December 1, 2019, could have been exposed to the virus.

	Through coughing and sneezing.
	Close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands.
	Touching an object or surface with the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes before washing your hands.
	Because novel coronavirus is new, the CDC and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health are learning more each day about the transmission patterns and incubation periods.
