Coronavirus: How to Stop the Spread

Here are some tips from DoctorsCare on how you can help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

With the uncertainty of this pandemic and when it will be under control, everyone must do their part in helping to slow the spread of this virus.

Wear a cloth face cover

  • The CDC now advises everyone to wear a cloth face cover when going out in public.
    • The cloth face cover is meant to protect you as well as those around you.
    • DO NOT use a face mask meant for health care workers.
    • Even while wearing a face mask, you still need to stay 6’ away from others.
    • For more information, see CDC Guidelines.

    • Stay connected with your family and friends through video calls, texts, and social media.

    • If soap and water is not available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

    • Especially high-touch surfaces like phones, remote controls, counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, keyboards, and tablets.
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes.
    • Use a tissue to cover your nose and mouth, then discard.
