Have You Heard This Too Much?

We want to make sure you and your family stay healthy! Tell your kids too!

  • Stay home if you are feeling sick. 
  • Wash your hands frequently. 
  • Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands. 
  • Disinfect surfaces used regularly. 
  • Use hand sanitizer. 
  • Avoid close contact with someone who is sick. 
  • Practice these precautionary measures at home and pass this information along to family and friends.

FYI: You can make your own hand sanitizer by using regular rubbing alcohol and maybe add lavender or whatever nice smelling oil you prefer if it’s hard to find in stores!

If you have traveled internationally during the last 14 days, feel sick with fever or cough, or have difficulty breathing the CDC has several recommendations:

  • Seek medical advice. Call ahead before you go to a doctor’s office or emergency room. 
  • Tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.
  • Avoid contact with others.
  • Do not travel while sick.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve when coughing or sneezing.
  • Clean your hands often by washing them with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60%–95% alcohol immediately after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose. Soap and water should be used if hands are visibly dirty.
