Social Distancing: You may not feel sick but you could be contagious
Every child and adult needs to maintain at least a 6-foot distance from someone outside their household and to stay away from enclosed public spaces, unless it is absolutely necessary (such as the grocery store or pharmacy).
It is extremely important to understand:
- that most people who contract COVID-19 may have very mild symptoms initially but are still contagious and can infect another person
- that someone’s life could be put at risk if they contract COVID-19
- Social Distancing reduces the spread of the virus
- Minimizing the spread of COVID-19 helps our first responders and hospitals
If you’re feeling run down, watch for a low-grade fever, a minor cough, or shortness of breath. If you begin to exhibit symptoms, CALL your healthcare provider for instructions.
