Choose Wisely - Avoid the three C's Confined Spaces - Especially with poor ventilation. Outdoors is better than indoors. Crowds - The more people the higher the risk, especially if the crowd is unmasked, talking, singing, shouting or breathing hard (exercising). Close Contact - Staying further apart is safer than being close together. The more C's, the higher the risk!
	Take Steps to Reduce Your Risk Wash your hands often Wear a face mask around others - make sure it fits snugly. For better protection, wear a mask with two or more layers. Stay at least 6 feet away from others Increase air flow - go outside, open windows Regularly clean surfaces that are touched often Keep the number of different households you socialize with small Get vaccinated when it is your turn
	Plan Ahead Stay informed - Check online or call and ask about safety measures before going to a public place. Be prepared to follow the health guidance when visiting. Be flexible - Be willing to change your plans or make a quick exit to avoid the three C's Carry an extra mask and hand sanitizer when going out in public

After You’ve Been Fully Vaccinated:

These are new public health recommendations for fully vaccinated people. They are based on guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health will update them over time as we learn more about the impact of vaccination on the spread of COVID-19. 

• Two weeks or more have passed since you received your second dose in a 2-dose vaccine series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna); or 
• Two weeks or more have passed since you received your dose of a single-dose vaccine (Johnson& Johnson/Janssen)

• Visit indoors with a small number of other fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask or physically distancing; 
• Visit indoors with unvaccinated people from one other household without wearing masks or physical distancing, unless any of those people or anyone they live with has an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19; 
• Refrain from quarantine and testing if they have been exposed to a person with COVID-19 and they do not have symptoms. 

• Take steps to protect themselves and others by wearing a mask, staying at least 6 feet apart from others, and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces. These precautions should be taken whenever they are: 
  • In public 
  • Gathering with unvaccinated people from more than one other household 
  • Visiting with an unvaccinated person who is at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease or who lives with a person at increased risk. 
• Avoid medium- and large-sized in-person gatherings 
• Watch out for symptoms of COVID-19, especially if after contact with someone who is sick. If they have symptoms of COVID-19, they should get tested and stay home and away from others.

Along with physical distancing and wearing face masks, practice these preventive tips to protect yourself and others.
