The President’s Coronavirus Guidelines for
America:
15 Days to Slow the Spread
1)Listen to and follow the directions of your state and local authorities.
2)If you feel sick, stay home. Do not go to work. Contact your medical
provider.
3)If your children are sick, keep them at home. Do not send them to school.
Contact your medical provider.
4)If someone in your household has tested positive for the coronavirus, keep
the entire household at home. Do not go to work. Do not go to school.
Contact your medical provider.
5)If you are an older person, stay home and away from other people.
6)If you are a person with a serious underlying health condition that can put
you at increased risk (for example, a condition that impairs your lung or heart
function or weakens your immune system), stay home and away from other
people.
7)Even if you are young, or otherwise healthy, you are at risk and your activities
can increase the risk for others. It is critical that you do your part to stop the
spread of the coronavirus:
a.Work or engage in schooling from home whenever possible.
b.If you work in a critical infrastructure industry, as defined by the
Department of Homeland Security, such as healthcare services and
pharmaceutical and food supply, you have a special responsibility to
maintain your normal work schedule. You and your employers should
follow CDC guidance to protect your health at work.
c.Avoid social gatherings in groups of more than 10 people.
d.Avoid eating or drinking in bars, restaurants, and food courts – use
drive-thru, pickup, or delivery options.
e.Avoid discretionary travel, shopping trips, and social visits.
f.Do not visit nursing homes or retirement or long-term care facilities
unless to provide critical assistance.
8)Practice good hygiene:
a.Wash your hands, especially after touching any frequently used item
or surface.
b.Avoid touching your face.
c.Sneeze or cough into a tissue, or the inside of your elbow.
d.Disinfect frequently used items and surfaces as much as possible.
* School operations can accelerate the spread of the coronavirus. Governors of
states with evidence of community transmission should close schools in affected
and surrounding areas. Governors should close schools in communities that are
near areas of community transmission, even if those areas are in neighboring
states. In addition, state and local officials should close schools where
coronavirus has been identified in the population associated with the school.
States and localities that close schools need to address childcare needs of critical
responders, as well as the nutritional needs of children.
** Older people are particularly at risk from the coronavirus. All states should
follow Federal guidance and halt social visits to nursing homes and retirement
and long-term care facilities.
*** In states with evidence of community transmission, bars, restaurants, food
courts, gyms, and other indoor and outdoor venues where groups of people
congregate should be closed.
