For now, take basic precautions.
Try to stay at least 3 feet away from everyone when you're out and about, even if they look healthy. Avoid lines, subways, buses, etc.
At least 6 feet of space between you and the next guy is preferable.
The spittle that carries the virus tends to settle within 3 feet, but might go further on clothes or carried by a cough/sneeze/breeze.
Avoid public/private spaces that accommodate lots of people like movie theaters and restaurants.
Wash your hands frequently and use hand sanitizer after touching any surfaces that others are likely to have been in contact with in the last day or so.
If telework is an option, discuss with your boss and make the arrangements now so you're ready if you need to quarantine. Lots of people were doing housekeeping, installing updates, syncing documents and testing VPN connections on their laptops today at my workplace, on the assumption that a quarantine is coming soon.
