Elderly Home Health Care Recognizes CDC Guidelines to Maximize Client Safety
We review guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) regularly.
These guidelines are provided by the CDC in an effort to deter the transmission of the virus:
- Avoid touching public surfaces with your hands whenever possible, including such things as doorknobs, elevator buttons, restroom surfaces, restaurant menus and tables, public computer keyboards, etc.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, mouth, or face.
- Wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 80% alcohol.
- Use masks in public places if/ when recommended by health authorities.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect all touched surfaces and objects frequently using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
- Avoid crowds, especially in poorly ventilated spaces. Your risk of exposure to respiratory viruses like COVID-19 may increase in crowded, closed-in settings with little air circulation if there are people in the crowd who are sick.
- Avoid all non-essential travel including plane trips and cruise ships.
- Monitor yourself and seek immediate medical attention if you develop symptoms.
