Tips for Voters to Reduce Spread of COVID-19 Help keep from getting and spreading COVID-19 before and during voting. Before you vote, plan how you can get to your polling place in the safest way possible. Try to avoid crowded ride-sharing services, buses, or trains. Protect yourself while using public transportation. And if you drive, and are able to check the voter line, join when the line is shorter. When voting, try to stay at least 6 feet apart from other people. Wear a mask around others, and wash your hands before and after voting ---- or if that’s not possible, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Voting Safely

COVID-19 Pandemic

Households Living in Close Quarters If your household includes one or more people at higher risk of severe illness, all family members should act as if they are at higher risk of COVID-19 themselves. Limit errands and separate a household member who is sick. Family members should leave only when absolutely necessary to perform essential errands, including going to the grocery store, pharmacy, or medical appointments that cannot be delayed (such as infants or individuals with serious health conditions). One or two family members who are not at a higher risk should run the essential errands. When you do leave the house, wear a mask, avoid crowds, and practice social distancing.

Living in Close Quarters

Living in Shared Housing Shared or congregate housing includes apartments, condominiums, student or faculty housing, national and state park staff housing, transitional housing, and domestic violence and abuse shelters. Shared dining, laundry facilities, stairwells, and elevators may have challenges with social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In common and shared spaces, everyone should stay at least 6 feet apart from one another. People who are sick, their roommates, and those who have higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 should eat or be fed in their room, if possible, and dishes, drinking glasses, cups, or eating utensils should not be shared.
