How can I help prevent illness?

You can help prevent illness by taking several simple steps:

• Practice good hand hygiene.
• Do not touch your face, eyes or mouth unless your hands are clean.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your sleeve.
• Stay home if you’re feeling sick.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
• Be open with your travel history or possible exposure to others.
• Respond to the DawgCheck questionnaire every day before leaving your home or dorm room.
• Report positive COVID-19 tests through DawgCheck.
