children, outdoor workers, people with certain
disabilities and health conditions…and pets!

CDC
Updates Respiratory Virus Care
Guidelines | |
|
You
may not have thought about COVID-19 in a while,
but an uptick in cases in the US should have all
of us concerned. The U.S. Center for Disease
Control released new guidelines for precautions
you should take to protect yourself and others if
you’re sick with respiratory viruses including
COVID. We hope that you’ll learn about their
updates to suggested practices such as prevention,
hygiene, masks, and physical distancing. Whether
you suffer from the virus or not, being prepared
and knowing about what to do if it does strike you
or your loved ones is a great first line of
defense. . | |
