There are simple steps you can take to help protect yourself and your family.
Everyone should:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before you eat.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Keep a distance of at least 6 feet to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
- Cover your cough and sneezes with a tissue and discard it in a closed container.
- Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects.
For people who are sick:
- Stay home.
- If you have a fever, stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medicines, such as acetaminophen.
- Keep sick household members away from others. If you have a separate room that is best.
- Use soap and water, a bleach and water solution, or EPA-approved household products. You can make your own cleanser with a mixture of 1 cup of liquid unscented chlorine bleach in 5 gallons of water.
- Avoid sharing personal items.
- Anyone at high risk for complications should talk to their healthcare provider for more information.
According to NY State, NYC, and Department of Health guidelines ALL individuals should cover their mouth and nose while in public to reduce the risk of transmission and spread of COVID-19. Cloth masks and bandannas are deemed acceptable forms of face coverings. As per this direction we want to remind our patients that when entering our office, you MUST BE WEARING some type of face covering. Also, please remember that this does not replace social distancing. So, please continue to maintain a 6 foot distance from other individuals, when possible, at all times. We understand that this is a stressful time for everyone and we want to thank you for your continued efforts towards keeping our community operating and safe.
