Your Role in Combating COVID-19

As the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. However, each individual plays a crucial role in slowing the spread of the virus and protecting themselves and others.

The Power of Prevention

A strong defense is the best offense against COVID-19. By following simple yet effective prevention strategies, you can significantly reduce the risk of transmission.

• Clean Hands: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
• Elbow Coughing: Cough or sneeze into your elbow instead of your hands to prevent germ spread.
• Face Covering: Wear a multilayered cloth face covering in public areas, ensuring it covers your nose and mouth.
• Social Distance: Maintain a safe distance of at least 6 feet from others, especially in crowded areas.
• Listen to Your Body: Stay home if you’re feeling unwell and avoid close contact with others.

Additional Prevention Tips

• Clean and Disinfect: Regularly clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces in your home, such as doorknobs, faucets, and keyboards.
• Cover Up: Cover your nose and mouth when sneezing or coughing, and wash your hands afterward.
• Mask Up: Wear a cloth face covering in public areas, even if you’re not feeling sick.

Understanding COVID-19 Transmission

Knowledge is power in the fight against COVID-19. Here’s what you need to know about how the virus spreads:

• Person-to-Person: The virus spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes.
• Contaminated Surfaces: Touching contaminated surfaces and then touching your face can also spread the virus.
• Direct Contact: Direct physical contact with an infected person can also transmit the virus.

Protecting Others

By taking preventive measures, you’re not only protecting yourself but also others around you, especially those at higher risk, such as older adults and people with preexisting medical conditions.

Stay Informed and Stay Safe

Stay up-to-date with the latest information on COVID-19 and follow local health guidelines to ensure you’re doing your part to combat the pandemic. Remember, every individual plays a crucial role in slowing the spread of the virus.
