PROTECT YOU AND THOSE AROUND YOU

The best way to fight Coronavirus (and the Flu) is through proper hygiene:

• Stay home – only leave the house if necessary
• Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds under warm water with soap. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with your elbow or a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
• Teach your children proper hygiene practices as well
• Don’t shake hands with people – they will understand
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
• Get your flu shot if you haven’t already
