In this video, Clinical Assistant Professor Lillian Erdahl, MD demonstrates the three simple steps for staying safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The mask should cover your nose and mouth at all times to be effective. We recommend wearing a mask indoors in public spaces, and outdoors when social distancing isn’t an option.
Face shields are a recommended alternative.
If you can reach out and touch the person next to you, you’re too close. The recommended distance is six feet apart, or arms’ length away. Socialize safely through social distancing.
Washing your hands often is important. When you’re out of the house, using hand sanitizer frequently is another effective way to stay safe.
By practicing these three Ws and encouraging others to do the same, we can protect our community from the spread of COVID-19.
