Homecare for COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

Some Basics on Coronavirus:

• Coronavirus can stay in the air for 30 minutes
• People can infect each other from over 15 feet away
• Coronaviruses can survive on surfaces for 9 days (the flu only survives for 24 hours)
• Incubation period is typically 5-14 days but can be up to 27 days

Some Notes for Us:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. (Focus on just no touching above the shoulders helps)
• 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.
• Wear a Face Mask or Face Covering when Social Distancing is not possible.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. For more information about the coronavirus, please visit the NYS Department of Health (www.health.ny.gov) and the Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov) websites.
