As more businesses begin to reopen following weeks of declining COVID-19 cases, it’s important to remember that all basic precautions taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 should still be taken.
COVID-19 continues to spread in other parts of the country and we still do not have a vaccine against the virus.
So, when you head out to go shopping, visit your favorite restaurant or just go about your daily life – there are a few things you should always have handy to help limit the spread of germs:
1. Face Covering or Mask
2. Hand Sanitizer
3. Sanitizing Wipes
4. Tissues
• Covering a cough or sneeze
• Inserting into the top of a cloth face covering to help limit fogging
• Using as a clean cloth to itch your face or wipe your nose
• Using as a one-time barrier when opening a door or touching a button
5. Contactless Payment Method
With many aspects of life entering a new normal, a little preparation and planning can help you and your family stay safe from COVID-19.
