5 THINGS WE NEED TO DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM COVID 19

1. Wash your hands

1. Keeping your hands clean helps you and your family avoid getting sick and spreading germs to other people. Scrub with soapy water really well for twenty seconds

2. WEARING MASKS

If you’re going out in public, like to the grocery store, you may see lots of people wearing masks over their faces

3. Cover your cough or sneeze.

Coronavirus germs can travel through coughs and sneezes. That’s why it’s important to cover your nose and mouth with your elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Wash your hands afterwards, and, if you use a tissue, make sure to throw it away.

4. No in-person playdates — for now.

The coronavirus can spread from one person to another, like when we share toys or hold a friend’s hand. Right now, it’s safer not to have play dates with friends. You may be home from school for a while, too.

5. Be a good helper

Because your parents may be working from home now, they may be busy, tired or stressed-out. Give them a hand by helping with chores, like setting the table or cleaning up your toys when you are done playing with them.
