COVID-19

In the midst of the coronavirus outbreak, everyone is closely following the news and advice coming from our health officials. COVID-19 must be taken seriously, but now is not the time to panic. We will get through this as a country, but we must work now to protect ourselves and our most vulnerable—working together in our common interest.

We are passing along the CDC’s guidance on best practices to prevent illness and limit the spread of COVID-19:

Practice good hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly and often with soap and warm water—for at least 20 seconds. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing—preferably with a tissue or the inside of your elbow. And avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Wash hand towels frequently if you are using them to dry your hands.

Practice social-distancing: Avoid close contact with people who are sick and large social gatherings (considered 100 or more people). When in public, put distance between yourself and others.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily—including doorknobs, light switches, countertops, phones, and faucets.

Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care. If you need to seek medical care, please follow CDC guidelines, like calling ahead before visiting your doctor.
