COVID-19 SUGGESTED GUIDELINES

Below are some guidelines and suggestions for dealing with the Covid-19 Virus. This is by no means a comprehensive but but rather a quick, at a glance reminder.

Think About Friends, Neighbors and Family At Special Risk including :

• Older Adults (generally 60+)
• People with respiratory, heart disease, diabetes or other underlying health issues
• Disabled Persons

Arrange to shop, make and keep essential appointments (e.g. Medical) and other important errands.

Just visiting (while observing Social Distancing) would help too!

Prepare for possible illness

• Consider members of the household that may be at greater risk such as older adults and people with severe chronic illnesses.
• Choose a room in your house that can be used to separate sick household members from others.

Take everyday preventive steps

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home if you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
• Be prepared if your child’s school or childcare facility is temporarily dismissed or for potential changes at your workplace.
• Practice Social Distancing as much as possible. Stay 6 feet away from other people.
