How to Keep Yourself Clean and Healthy
Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds
If you haven’t washed your hands, don’t touch your eyes, mouth, or nose
If you use hand sanitizer, the hand sanitizer should contain 60% or more alcohol
Social distancing is crucial! Stay at home as much as you can
If you must go outside for necessities, cover your mouth and nose area with a face mask made of cloth.
The face mask is not an excuse to be closer to anyone, remember to always stay 6 feet apart
Clean objects and surfaces that you use frequently
Phones, computers, tables, ect.
COVID-19 Statistics in Maryland
Please check the age distributions through this website: https://coronavirus.maryland.gov/
Though Maryland’s statistics show that children, teens, and young adults have fewer cases, this is not an excuse to have any gatherings. Though it may be tempting to see close friends, please think about those who are at a higher risk that are close around. Those above the age of 30 have significantly more confirmed cases and statistics show confirmed deaths for those over 50. Please, keep on social distancing; each and every one of us must ensure the safety of not only our family, but the entire public.
