    Posted on March 25, 2021 by Norwich

    CLEAN YOUR HANDS OFTEN

    Wash your hands often with soap & water for at least 20 seconds.  Especially after being in public, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.  Use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

    AVOID CLOSE CONTACT

    Stay home as much as possible.  If you have to go out, put distance (6 feet) between yourself and others when in public.  Keeping your distance from others is especially important if you are at a higher risk.

    WEAR A MASK OR FACE COVERING

    Cover your mouth & nose with a cloth face covering when around other people in public.  The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.  Continue to keep 6 feet apart from others.

    CLEAN & DISINFECT

    Clean & disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily.  This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, remotes, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.

    IF YOU FEEL SICK

    Please call your medical provider if you feel physically or mentally unwell.  Especially if you have a fever, cough or have trouble breathing.  Do not hesitate to call 911 if you have a medical emergency.
