• Practice Social Distancing. Social distancing means staying away from close contact in public places. It includes actions like staying out of places where lots of people gather and maintaining distance – approximately 6 feet- from others. Social distancing also includes minimizing contact with people by avoiding public transportation when possible, limiting non-essential travel, working from home, and skipping social gatherings. All Pennsylvanians should practice social distancing – not just those who are seriously ill or at high risk. Social distancing is a proven way to slow the spread of pandemics.
• Wash Your Hands or use Hand Sanitizer Frequently. Wash especially after you have been in a public place and touched an item or surface that may be frequently touched by other people, such as door handles, tables, gas pumps, shopping carts or electronic cashier register/screens etc. Wash hands before touching your eyes, nose or mouth because that is how germs enter our bodies.
• Wear a Mask/Cloth Face Covering. Cloth face coverings may slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others.
• A no-visitor policy for correctional facilities and nursing homes has been implemented and will be evaluated for other facilities.
• The Wolf Administration encourages religious leaders to exercise discretion in order to mitigate the spread of illness.
