There are 2 things that are really important during this COVID-19 pandemic.

  1. WASH YOUR HANDS (for at least 20 seconds)
  2. SOCIAL DISTANCING

The COVID-19 virus has a thin layer of fat around it. SOAP and water breaks up the fat and helps inactivate the virus. So PLEASE wash your hands!

 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, you should also clean hands:

  • After you have been in a public place and touched an item or surface that may be frequently touched by other people, such as door handles, tables, gas pumps, shopping carts, or electronic cashier registers/screens, etc.
  • Before touching your eyes, nose, or mouth because that’s how germs enter our bodies.
