TIPS TO HELP PROTECT YOURSELF
FROM COVID-19
In addition to playing our part to reduce transmission at our office, we want to ensure that our patients are equipped with the proper information to protect themselves and people around them. Here are some tips from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the CDC to help protect yourself from COVID-19:
- If you are sick, please stay at home and refrain from contact with other individuals
- Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly (the CDC recommends washing for a minimum of 20 seconds); If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol
- Maintain a distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing/sneezing
- Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
- Cover your mouth/nose when you cough/sneeze.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
We will remain vigilant about this situation and keep you posted about any further updates at our practice.
