Situation	Solution
1. Social gatherings	When feasible, limit all gatherings to under 10 people. If not possible, keep 6 feet distance from nearest person. Wear a homemade mask whenever outside.
2. Dining	Avoid dine-in areas when possible. If necessary, use take-out/delivery options. Always wear a homemade mask covering mouth and nose when out in public.
3. Work and school meetings	Convert all physical meetings to virtual through video chat applications.
4. Confined areas (e.g., elevators)	Reduce exposure to confined areas such as elevators by using alternative measures such as stairways when possible.
5. Encountering sick individuals	Maintain 6-feet social distancing whenever encountering an individual that appears ill. Always wear a mask when taking care of sick persons.
6. Unable to maintain social distancing	Maintain proper hygiene by using disposable tissues or upper arm to cover sneeze or cough. Avoid touching unnecessary surfaces and use soap and water or hand sanitizer often.
