GPGS is being pro-active as many of us never thought we'd live through a global pandemic, but here we are. Needless to say, COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is on everyone’s minds. How could it not be? It’s right there in your inbox, social media feed, and even buzzing amidst the chaos at the grocery stores and health stores.
What are we supposed to do? There’s not exactly a reference point for any of us, as we’ve never lived through a viral outbreak. As we all stare, jaw-unhinged, at an uncertain future for our students, GPGS is taking measures into our own hands to safeguard our clients, students, and parents. The virus isn’t solely a health threat to nearly eight billion people in the world, it’s an economic implosion and we all stand on the brink.
Will we survive this? Yes. But you have to take immediate action. There’s no more denying it: the storm is here, so gear up for the long-haul. Here’s what you need to do now to help survive Coronavirus:
- Stay home if you can and avoid gatherings of more than ten people.
- Practice social distancing by keeping a distance of about six feet from others if you must go out in public.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing; throw used tissues in the trash. If a tissue isn’t available, cough or sneeze into your elbow or sleeve, not your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, computers, phones, keyboards, sinks, toilets, faucets, and countertops.
- If surfaces are dirty, clean them - use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection. Full information on how to disinfect found here.
- Wear a facemask if you are sick. You should wear a facemask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office.
In order to fight the great fight, we need to take self-action and here at GPGS, we are doing just that. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel FREE to contact us, 667.5858 or visit us, www.gpgstt.com.
