Hand washing
The best way to lower your risk of infection is by washing your hands. Use a soap-and-water scrub for 15 seconds, or rub hands with alcohol-based hand sanitizer until dry. This will help prevent infection in yourself and those around you. Clean your hands before and after you eat, after you use the restroom, after you sneeze or cough, and any other time your hands get dirty.

Typically, dogs are the only pets allowed to visit, but you may ask your provider about other pets – the decision to allow other visiting pets is made on a case-by-case basis.
