1. Wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20-30 seconds.
• Don’t know how long that is? Just sing the Alphabet song or Happy Birthday song twice.
• If you are unable to wash your hands immediately after touching a surface, use hand sanitizer with 60% or more alcohol.
2. Don’t touch your face
• Having difficulty not touching your face? Yup, we are all in this boat! It is suggested that you wear a mask or even tie a handkerchief over your face. This will help train you to not touch your face.
3. Social Distancing
• Don’t know what that is? It means to stay a minimum of 6ft. away from people at all times. Do you wonder why 6ft. is the magic number? It is because it is said to be a safe distance so that should someone sneeze or cough, their droplets won’t reach you at 6ft.
• If you are standing next to someone, both people should be able to stretch their arms out and not touch the person next to them.
• It’s also recommended that you are never in a group of more than 10 people. Why 10 people or less? Normally the space that you may be in allows for everyone to be at least 6ft. apart. If not, you should be around less people in that space.
