Please keep in mind that the best ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are:

To keep your Social Distancing – At least 6 Feet apart! Stay at home if at all possible.

o   Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

o   Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

o   Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

o   Stay home when you are sick, or if you are a not an essential employee.

o   Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then immediately throw the tissue in the trash.

o   Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

COVID-19 spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Symptoms are thought to appear within two to 14 days after exposure and consist of fever, cough, runny nose, and difficulty breathing. For people with mild illness, individuals are asked to stay home, drink plenty of fluids, and get rest. For people with more severe symptoms, such as shortness of breath, individuals are advised to seek healthcare, using telemedicine where available.

  1. People need to stay home, every morning when I’m driving to work I look over at Walmart and it is packed who needs that stuff every day . If I didn’t have to go to work, I would stay home. People need to rethink what they’re doing. Be safe
