Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

COVID 19: Wash hands (or use sanitizer) often for at least 20 seconds. Wash hands before touching eyes, nose or mouth. Use a cloth cover over mouth & nose when around others. Stay home as much as possible. Avoid sick people. Distance at least 6 feet from others. Clean/ disinfect frequently used surfaces. STAY A PART, STAY A PART, STAY A PART.
