FYI PDX Commons Health Team Recommendations: Preparing for COVID-19 (based on CDC and Kaiser information) At this time, we should follow everyday preventive measures: Voluntary Home Isolation: Stay home when you are sick with respiratory disease symptoms (like fever, coughing/sneezing, congestion, sore throat, new onset shortness of breath) unless you are seeing your healthcare provider (and always call about the advisability of an office visit if you do have symptoms). At the present time, these symptoms are more likely due to influenza or other respiratory viruses than to COVID-19-related virus. Avoid close contact (within 4-6’) with people who are sick with respiratory symptoms. Respiratory Etiquette: Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw it in the trash can. Alternatively, cough into your collar, sleeve, or other fabric. Hand Hygiene: Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with 60%-95% alcohol. This is especially important when coming into PDXC from the outside community! Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands, especially when out in the community. Environmental Health Action: Routinely clean frequently touched surfaces and objects (cell phones, door and appliance handles, light switches, remotes, computer mouse, etc.) – use Lysol or dilute solution of bleach/water (1/2 tsp bleach to 1 cup water – spray with fine mist and allow to dry over several minutes) • • • • • • • If you have risk factors (pre-existing respiratory and other health issues combined with advancing age), you may consider making sure that you have enough medications, food, and supplies to enable you to avoid going out into public if the risk of COVID-19 spread into the community increases.
