​Being Safe

COVID has reminded us about best practices in keeping us safe from any illness.

• If you are sick, stay home.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.

• Wash your hands often and properly (soap and water, for at least 20 seconds).

• If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces or objects.

• If you must sneeze or cough and have no tissue available, do so in the inside of your elbow, not into your hands or into the air.
