Residents are also advised to take precautions to protect themselves from COVID-19, such as the following:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (time to sing Happy Birthday song twice).
  • Cover coughs or sneezes with your elbow or use a tissue. Do not use your hands.
  • Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available.
  • Clean surfaces frequently, including countertops, light switches, cell phones, remotes, door handles, stair rails and other frequently touched items.
  • Avoid touching your hands to your face, eyes, nose and mouth.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Clean and disinfect surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or disinfectant wipe.
  • If you are sick, it is safer to stay home until you are feeling better, and if you are concerned with symptoms or contact, check with your primary care provider.
