What we need to know!
Covid 19 don't underestimate or over exaggerate.
Wash your hands
Cover your cough
If you sneeze into a Kleenex, throw it in the garbage, don't put it up a sleeve or into your pocket.
If you are sick, stay home! Not just 1 day but 5 days
You are contagious for a minimum of 5 days.
As long as you're coughing, sneezing and have discharge coming from orifices, your contagious!
This isn't rocket science or anything new!
Be compliant, be considerate, you may be healthy and able to fight off the germs, sadly others may not be so fortunate. Help families keep loved ones safe ❤
