The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has created uncertainty and upheaval in our daily lives throughout the nation and the world. The mantra of โsocial distancingโ means that many of us will find ourselves limiting activities like work, shopping, school, and social events, and instead spending more time in our homes for several weeks, perhaps longer.
Our homes are our ultimate safe refuge. So it makes sense to ensure that they are equipped and prepared to provide us with the most hygienic, germ- and virus-free environment possible. To achieve this goal, we can take some concrete steps. Some are simple, common-sense preventative measures. Others involve making smart investments in our homes that will make them a safer place now and in the future.
In the fight against COVID-19, knowledge is power. Unfortunately, itโs easy to get incorrect information through social media and unreliable sources of news and information. Educate yourself about COVID-19 and keep up with the latest reliable information by accessing these websites. Bookmark them so youโll always have accurate information on local, national, and international news about the progress of the disease.
