Friend,

In light of recent developments, I wanted to send an update on the COVID-19 outbreak and to share some health and safety tips for how to minimize your risk of exposure.

If you become sick with respiratory symptoms, the CDC recommends you stay home, avoid coming into contact with others, and call your doctor. If you have recently traveled to high-risk countries or believe you may have been exposed to the virus, call your healthcare provider or local public health department first before seeking medical care so that appropriate precautions can be taken.

In general, please take extra care to:

-Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
-Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands
-Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your elbow
-Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe
