COVID-19: You Stop the Spread

 

We’re all connected—by our health, by our actions, and by our commitment to each other. It is up to each of us to take simple steps, like staying home and wearing a mask, to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our community from COVID-19. Your actions can help protect everyone in Wisconsin.

Follow these simple steps to protect yourself and your loved ones from COVID-19!

Get vaccinated 

The COVID-19 vaccine is free and you do not need an ID or insurance to get it. Getting your vaccination protects you and your family. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and sign up for a vaccine appointment today.

Stay home

Stay home if you are sick or think you may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 and postpone all travel until you are fully vaccinated. Avoid large gatherings and smaller, indoor gatherings with people who don’t live with you and who are not fully vaccinated. More on staying safe.

Wear a mask

Wear a cloth face covering whenever you are indoors (other than at home). It's also a good idea to mask up outdoors if it is difficult to practice physical distancing. More on masks.

Keep 6 feet apart

Stay at least 6 feet away from other people when you leave your home. More on keeping your distance.

Wash your hands

Wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. More on handwashing.
