Good Morning Everyone,

I am sending you these reminders regarding Coronavirus-19:

Continue practicing everyday preventive actions. Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue and wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains 60% alcohol. Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects daily using a regular household detergent and water.

Wear gloves. CDC recommends using simple cloth face coverings in public to help slow the spread of the virus. Please review the following link: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diy-cloth-face-coverings.html

See the following link regarding children and helping them cope: https://www.cdc.gov/childrenindisasters/helping-children-cope.html

See the following link for tips when running essential errands like grocery shopping, take-out, banking, getting gas, and doctor visits: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/essential-goods-services.html

One thing I want to mention is that the number of daily calls to the poison control center has increased by 30% since March. Calls have been for both children and adults. A large majority of these calls have been for inhalation (breathing in) of harmful chemicals. There has also been an increase in ingestion of chemicals by both children and adults. Do not mix chemicals, clean in well ventilated area, and store chemicals safely and out of reach of children. 

When washing fruits and vegetables, do so safely…NO chemicals.  Please review the following link for washing fruits and vegetables:   https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/covid-19-and-food-safety/

Stay safe. God Bless you and your families.

Charlotte, Wesley Nurse
