The health and safety of our community is at the core of our plan to
resume on-site supports; however, no plan can eliminate all risks of exposure to COVID-19.
Please join with us and follow these precautions to help keep
ourselves and others healthy:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least
20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing; going to the bathroom; and before eating.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed
hands.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw
the tissue in the trash. If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the bend of your arm.
