Individuals should avoid being in a group larger than 10 individuals. Within these groups, individuals should, to the extent possible, minimize in-person contact with others not in the individual’s household.
Minimizing in-person contact includes maintaining 6 feet or more of separation from individuals.
When maintaining 6 feet of separation is not feasible, other methods should be utilized to slow the spread of COVID-19 such as wearing a face covering or mask, washing or sanitizing hands frequently, and avoiding sharing utensils or other common objects.
