Health & Wellness
Maintaining a healthy diet and getting exercise is always important, but even more so during the COVID-19 pandemic. During times of uncertainty and stress, sleep is crucial to allow the body to rest and heal.
It important for us to stay connected with one another, while staying physically apart. Check on loved ones, friends and neighbors, particularly those who are most isolated and in need of support.

There are steps that everyone can take daily to reduce the risk of getting sick or infecting others with COVID-19:
- Practice social distancing in compliance with health officer orders. Whenever you are out, keep six feet apart from everyone else as much as possible.
- If you are an essential worker, stay home when you are sick.
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning product.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If you do not have a tissue, use your elbow (not your hands).
- Wear a cloth face covering whenever you are outside of your home and around others.
