Coronavirus and Staying Safe During the Pandemic

In spite of the many unproven, and sometimes harmful suggestions on how to stay safe during the Coronavirus pandemic, the best practices are outlined by the Center for Disease Control. The CDC advises that everyone should:

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
          • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
          • Avoid close contact with people who are sick, even inside your home. Put distance between yourself and other people outside of your home.
Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) from other people.
           • Do not gather in groups.
           • Stay out of crowded places and avoid mass gatherings.
Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others
          • If you are in a private setting and do not have on your cloth face covering, remember to always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your                elbow.
          • Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60%                    alcohol.
Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
          • If surfaces are dirty, clean them. Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
          • Then, use a household disinfectant.
