Some of us get sicker from COVID-19 than others, but all of us can help protect the people, places, and experiences that matter most. Taking just a few simple steps to stop the spread of COVID-19 reduces the risk for those around you. Because we’re all connected—by our health, by our actions, and by our commitment to each other. Learn how to protect what’s important to you. When you do, you help protect everyone in Wisconsin.
Follow these simple steps to protect the people in your life!
Wear a mask in public
Wear a cloth face covering in public settings, especially when it is difficult to practice physical distancing. More on masks.
Keep 6 feet apart
Stay at least 6 feet away from other people when possible 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.
Stay home if you can
Stay at home as much as possible and especially if you are sick. Cancel events and avoid groups, gatherings, play dates, and nonessential appointments. Know the symptoms.
