Individuals and organizations need to take action to help slow down the spread of the disease. For individuals, the recommendations are simple, but very important:
1. Keep your hands clean by washing them frequently, especially after you touch common surfaces, such as doorknobs, elevator buttons, handrails, light switches, countertops, and tables. It is one of the most important steps you can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. 2. Always cover your cough with your sleeve or a tissue, and stay home when you are sick.
3. Stay away from people who are sick, and stay home if you are sick.
4. Today, start working on not touching your face because one way viruses spread is when you touch your own mouth, nose or eyes. If you do need to touch your own mouth, nose or eyes, wash your hands before you do so.
5. Start thinking about family preparedness, how to take care of sick family members while not getting infected. Think about a room to isolate a sick person.
There are practical measures that can help limit spread by reducing exposure in community settings:
6. Schools: should plan for absenteeism and explore options for learning at home and enhance cleaning of surfaces.
7. Businesses: whenever possible, can replace in-person meetings with video or telephone conferences and increase teleworking options, as well as modify absenteeism policies and enhance cleaning of surfaces.
Thank you!
Please, please, PLEASE get a flu shot if you haven't already. Flu symptoms may scare people into thinking they have COVID-19, hence sending them to emergency rooms instead of taking care of themselves at home, or alarming people in their lives. (And flu has killed a lot of people this year as well.)
What are the odds they’ll close schools? I’m in SoCal. And if they don’t, do we need to be worried and pre-emptively pull kids out of school? Two year old in daycare. Germs spread like wildfire with all those little people running around.
You may not be if you are in otherwise good health. Don’t over-react and stock up. However, we should all have some water and food for emergencies in any situation. So it doesn’t hurt to have some to last a week or two, but don’t clean up the store 😀
Also, fun fact: influenza cases in Japan are down 66% from this time last year because people have been being so careful about COVID-19!
Japan closing their schools on Thursday, February 27th - i.e. 4 days ago - did not cause a massive influenza drop.
