The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is recommending that we take precautions over the next months, as the spread of viruses such as the FLU, Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and Covid-19 is increasing. Here are some tips to help protect yourself and others:
- Wash your hand frequently with soap or hand sanitizer.
- Maintain social distancing when possible.
- If you are feeling sick or having symptoms, stay at home and get plenty of rest and hydration.
- Keep your vaccinations up to date.
- Carry tissue and cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- If you think you may have been exposed or just want to be even more cautious to avoid getting an infection and/or infecting others, wearing a mask when outside your home is a reasonable and perfectly acceptable practice.
To help stem the spread of potential infections, our religious education department is expanding the use of Force of Nature, a people-safe, hospital-grade disinfectant.
If we all take these simple and sensible precautions, we can help protect ourselves and one another.
