During this time of the year, with more family gatherings and the colder weather keeping people indoors, there is an uptake of people getting sick. If you are sick or have someone in your home who is under the weather, here are some tips to prevent spreading it to someone else:
- Limit Visitors: Avoid having guests as much as possible to reduce the risk of spreading illness to others.
- Close Contact: Keep a distance from sick individuals, and limit shared spaces.
- Hand Hygiene: Wash hands frequently for at least 20 seconds, especially after contact with someone who is sick.
- Face Touching: Refrain from touching your face to minimize germ transfer.
- Surface Cleaning: Regularly clean high-touch areas like doorknobs and light switches.
- Laundry Precautions: Handle and wash the sick individual’s laundry carefully, using hot water.
Stay safe and warm this holiday season! Happy Holidays!
