Reducing social contact can help slow the spread of this coronavirus and keep our communities healthy. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others. Everyone in California is required to stay home except to get food, care for a relative or friend, get necessary health care, or go to an essential job. If you go out, keep at least 6 feet of distance between you and all other people.
Reduciendo contacto social ayuda reducir la propagación del coronavirus y mantiene nuestras comunidades saludables. Quedarse en casa es la mejor manera de protegerte y tu familia. Es necesario que todos en California se queden en casa excepto para recoger comida, cuidar a un familiar enfermo, por razones médicas, o ir a un trabajo esencial. Si sales para afuera, mantenga seis pies de distancia entre tu y otras personas.
