Ask questions, educate yourself and get information from reliable sources

2. Protect yourself and others
o Wash your hands frequently, always with soap and water for at least 20 seconds

3. Be a leader in keeping yourself, your school, family, and community healthy.
o Share what you learn about preventing disease with your family and friends, especially with younger children
o Model good practices such as sneezing or coughing into your elbow and washing your hands, especially for younger family members

4. Don’t stigmatize your peers or tease anyone about being sick; remember that the virus doesn’t follow geographical boundaries, ethnicities, age or ability or gender.

5. Tell your parents, another family member, or a caregiver if you feel sick, and ask to stay home.
