Asheville Survival Program:Where kids can get meals:
Best practices include staying at home.
-When not at home, keep 6 feet between you and the next person,
-Wipe down surfaces with sanitizer.
-In grocery stores, sanitize your cart before use and after no longer using it.
-Wash your hands when you get home.
-If you are 60+ or have underlying health conditions, isolate as much as possible.
Regarding COVID-19:
-People can be asymptomatic and still carry the virus
-Rate of transmission is 1:3 so every one person is likely to spread to 3 people. This is in part why social distancing and isolation is important.
-Try not to touch your face.
It is spread by lung droplets entering mucous membranes, not airborne.
-There is no reason to wear a mask unless you are sick. Masks help prevent the spread FROM you.
-If sick, and relatively healthy- DON’T go to the doctor unless you cannot break your fever or have shortness of breath.
-Societally, we are trying to not overload the health system that cant handle a mass influx of people.
AND – Don’t panic
