Spotted a coyote in my yard during daylight

I wasn’t happy to see what I thought was a fox walking down my driveway and one next door, in the middle of an afternoon with us outside. Then, I find, they were coyote.

This scares me. I was told not to let them get comfortable walking around the neighborhood, or they will settle here.

If I continue to see them, what to do? I know there have been posts on chatlist in past. I did not pay much attention, as I did not expect to see them in my yard during daylight.
