STAY SAFE, SANDERS COUNTY!!

Be cautious! To protect yourself and others, please follow the following simple measures:

—Social distance. Maintain a 6 foot distance between yourself and others. If you are in a situation where you cannot do so, please wear a non-medical/non-surgical mask. (Social distancing is a strategy to lower the pace and spread of COVID-19 and reduce the acute impact on our health care system).
This article and animation explain the concept of social distancing. https://hub.jhu.edu/2020/03/13/what-is-social-distancing/

—Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

—Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Do this each time you use the restroom, and before you eat.

—Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

—Cover your cough and sneezes with the crook of your elbow or a tissue.

—Avoid contact with sick people when possible.

—Stay home if you’re sick. If you are having symptoms such as fever, cough or shortness of breath, please CALL your healthcare provider.

Mesothelioma cancer patients, and patients with thoracic malignancies, are at an especially high risk of contracting the novel coronavirus. Most of these patients are our senior citizens, who are also at high risk of developing complications from the virus.
Please take a look at our mesothelioma resource, and our coronavirus and cancer guide:
