COVID-19 and Business: What we do now…changes our future.
Now is a good time to keep the COVID-19 “hotspots” in our prayers, and count our blessings that we live in the Midwest. It’s easy to get caught up in the fear of the unknown. Conversely, based on what we know to be true, we can be proactive and regain a sense of control.
We can all do our part to “slow the spread”. We learned it in kindergarten, and works for the common cold as well as well as the novel coronavirus:
• Avoid handshakes and direct physical contact with others
• Frequently wash your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds (hand sanitizer is an option)
• Cover your cough with your elbow or a tissue
• Maintain a 6-foot distance whenever possible
• Avoid touching your face, particularly your eyes, nose and mouth
On Tuesday, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams said the country has "turned the corner" on coronavirus testing and will start to collect necessary information about the trajectory of the virus as more tests become available to the public. "There is in fact good news," Adams said. "We turned the corner on testing, we have now done more testing in the last eight days than [South] Korea has done in eight weeks. That will give us ... better information."
Adams said the decreasing number of cases in China and Italy prove the effectiveness of social distancing and echoed President Trump in expressing the hope that coronavirus restrictions could be scaled back "sooner than we thought."
The President’s 15-days to Slow the Spread initiative is posted here on our resource page.
What we do now….changes our future.
Stay tuned for further updates. As always, feel free to reach out to your direct supervisor with questions. Be safe!
