Help us STOP Coronavirus (COVID-19) by using the following self care tips:
1. Stay home, except to get medical care.
2. Separate yourself from other people and animals in your home.
3. Call ahead before visiting your doctor -- If you have a medical appointment, please call your healthcare provider and tell them that you have or may have (COVID-19). This will allow the healthcare provider’s office to take steps to keep other people from getting infected or exposed.
4. Wear a facemask if you are sick.
5. Cover your coughs and sneezes -- (COVID-19) is spread by respiratory droplets, throw used tissues into a lined trash can.
6. Clean your hands often -- wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing, going to the bathroom, and before eating or preparing food. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available (alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol).
7. Avoid sharing personal household items -- dishes, drinking glasses, cups eating utensils, towels, bedding with other people or pets in your home.
8. Clean all “high-touch” surfaces everyday -- counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, bedside tables, etc.
9. Monitor your symptoms -- seek medical attention if your illness is worsening (e.g., difficulty breathing). Please remember to call your health care provider prior to presenting to the healthcare facility to get instructions on how/where to enter the building. Wear a mask upon entering.
