Prevention and treatment of COVID
Many of the things that help prevent colds and flu help protect you from other respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.
● Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
● Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
● Household cleaning Clean frequently touched items (doorknobs, countertops, etc.) with a spray or wipe.
● Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Use tissue or inner elbows, not hands.
● If you are ill, stay home and avoid close contact with others.
● Use a face cover if necessary.
● Get vaccinated.
Even if you have no symptoms, stay at home as much as possible and stay away from society if you need to go out. This is because they can become infected with COVID-19 and spread to others 48 hours before the onset of symptoms.
If you need to travel, car travel is the safest alternative (houses in the car). In high-risk environments, take advantage of the other precautions listed above.
When enrolling your child in a program or sport, make sure your organization develops and implements the COVID-19 protocol.
