Teach your children to cover coughs and sneezes with tissues or by coughing into the inside of the elbow.
Monitor travel alerts issued by the CDC specific to COVID-19 if you are planning trips, particularly for the upcoming breaks. These alerts can be found at https://www.cdc.gov/coroiiavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/index.html.
