Protect Yourself from COVID-19

Protect Yourself and Others from COVID-19
Here are the simple steps to take for protection from COVID-19.
-
- Wash hands frequently, especially after sneezing, coughing, blowing the nose, or touching common surfaces as door handles, keyboards, public touch screens, etc.
- When possible, sneeze or cough into a tissue and dispose of it safely and immediately.
- Wear disposable gloves and change them frequently if there is a need to frequently touch common surfaces.
- Avoid coming within six feet of others.
- Use disinfectant wipes often on any frequently touched surfaces.
- Those over 65 years old should stay at home if there is an epidemic.
- According to the CDC, everyone should wear a face mask when out in public. Exceptions are children under age 2, anyone having trouble breathing, anyone unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
-
While it may not be possible to guarantee invulnerability, following these precautions, will greatly increase safety from COVID-19.
