Dade Legal Aid COVID-19 Resources

Protect yourself, your family and others by taking preventive actions to stay safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

  • Stay home. Do not go out unless necessary and wear a mask if you do need to go out in public.  
  • Stay at least 6 feet from others to prevent transmission and avoid close contact with sick people or those in poor health. 
  • Wear gloves to prevent transmission, and avoid hugging, handshaking and physical contact of any kind.
  • Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds.  Use hand sanitizer when soap is not available.
  • Do not meet with people who do not live in your home, including family and loved ones that do not live with you.
  • People with the virus who are asymptomatic pass the disease to others through talking and close proximity.
  • Clean surfaces regularly, including phone, keyboard and laptop to reduce the spread from potentially contaminated surfaces.
  • Seek mental health services if you are depressed, nervous or anxious. During this crisis, your health and safety are priorities.
