COVID-19 Infection Prevention in Healthcare Settings
The Washington State Department of Health developed this webpage to provide resources for healthcare facilities, including acute care hospitals, long-term, residential care facilities, and other settings where healthcare is being administered during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the vulnerable nature of patients, the risk of exposure to healthcare workers, and the congregate nature of long-term care facilities, guidance for healthcare settings is often different from that of the general public.

 How does COVID-19 spread?
​Health experts are still learning more about the spread. Currently it is thought to spread:
  • through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes
  • between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet)
  • by touching a surface or object with the virus and then touching the mouth, nose, or eyes
 How can I protect myself from COVID-19?
It's important that everyone take steps to reduce the spread of novel coronavirus, especially to protect those who are more vulnerable. Steps you can take to prevent spread of flu and the common cold will also help prevent coronavirus:
  • wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If not available, use hand sanitizer.
  • avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands
  • avoid contact with people who are sick
  • stay home while you are sick and avoid close contact with others
  • cover your mouth/nose with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing
If you are traveling overseas, check for the latest COVID-19 Travel Alerts and follow the CDC's Travelers' Health guidance.
Currently, there are no vaccines available to prevent COVID-19 infections.

COVID-19 What is contact tracing?​

Quarantine vs. Isolation

Quarantine or Isolation: What's the difference?
Quarantine keeps someone who might have been exposed to the virus away from others.
Isolation keeps someone who is infected with the virus away from others, even in their home.
