WSU is closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and continues to follow the guidance of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the WA Department of Public Health.

Practice Good Hygiene to Help Prevent COVID-19 Spread

We all have a role to play in keeping students, faculty, staff and our communities healthy and safe. You can help by staying informed and practicing good hygiene. The CDC recommends taking the following steps to help prevent the spread of COVID-19:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
  • Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces.
  • Stay at home and away from others if you are feeling ill.

Visit the CDC Coronavirus (COVID-19) Prevention and Treatment site for additional details.
