When Using Trails and Open Spaces
Stay home if you're sick or have been near someone who's sick.
Make sure other visitors know you're near if they can't see you. (A simple "passing from behind" works.) Stay at least 6 feet away as you pass.
Don't touch things others might also touch, such as signs, benches or shelters.
Keep dogs on a leash in preserves and on trails. Clean up dog droppings.
