Here are five things to know and do NOW as recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Dr. Nancy Meissonier.

  1. The risk of contracting this virus remains low. According to the CDC, ¾ of contracted cases are mild. Symptoms, if there are symptoms at all, can include a low-grade fever and cough. Some people experience fatigue, headaches and, less frequently, diarrhea.
  2. Follow the same flu CDC guidelines
    1. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
    2. Viruses can spread from person-to-person so keep your touching of doorknobs, elevator buttons, shopping carts, etc. at a minimum. If /when you do touch these things, do not then touch your eyes, nose, mouth.
    3. Try not to shake hands and/or kiss others on the cheek when greeting one another.
    4. Stay away from those who are sick if possible. If caring for someone who is sick, wear a mask and gloves.
    5. Try to avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose.
    6. Cover your cough/sneeze with a tissue and then discard that tissue immediately.
    7. Clean and disinfect well-used surfaces in kitchen and bathrooms (and anywhere else) often.
    8. Stay at home when you fell sick.
  3. Prepare as you would for a pending snowstorm/hurricane.
    1. Stock up over time (do NOT hoard) non-perishables such as rice and beans and freeze meats, vegetables, breads – 2-3 weeks of food supplies
    2. Do the same with both prescription and non-prescription medications and medicines.
    3. Discuss work-from-home options with your colleagues.
    4. Plan and prepare for childcare in the event school and/or other activities are suspended.
  4. The efficacy of wearing masks is uncertain.
    1. Masks may not fit properly and may create a false sense of security.
    2. However and again, if caring for someone sick, wear a mask.
  5. Travel smart.
    1. The CDC recommends that older adults and/or adults with chronic conditions postpone any non-essential travel.
    2. Check with you health insurance provider to determine whether or not your policy covers international travel.
    3. Consider getting travel health insurance AND medical evacuation insurance.
    4. If traveling, consider travel disruptions and/or quarantines that could occur and create a back-up plan in the event you are stranded somewhere indefinitely.
