COVID-19 Safe Practices & Helpful Tips
Safe Practices:
As recommended by the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention)
- Social Distancing
- This means that you stay physically away from each other not only to protect yourself but to protect others who may have underlying health conditions. Social distancing measures can make a serious impact when they’re implemented early, so that, over time, all patients get the resources they need. - "Discourage children and teens from gathering in other public places while school is dismissed to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in the community" CDC - Click Here for more information
