If you are not sick, then take every precaution to avoid getting the Coronavirus or any other kind of infection.  

• Avoid contact with persons who are sick 
• Wash your hands frequently for at least 20-30 seconds using antibacterial soap and running water.  If soap is not available, then use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content.   
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.  
• Do not shake hands with anyone during this time 
• Cover your cough and sneeze into a tissue or your elbow.  Be sure to properly dispose of the tissue in the trash.  Wash your hands after you dispose of the tissue.

• If you are sick 
• Wear a mask if you are sick and around other people and before you enter a Healthcare Provider’s office 
• If you are caring for others: If the person who is sick is not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then people who live in the home should stay in a different room. When caregivers enter the room of the sick person, they should wear a facemask. Visitors, other than caregivers, are not recommended. 
• Persons with suspected symptoms of COVID-19 (Fever, persistent cough and shortness of breath) should visit the Kingstown Clinic (located outside of the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital).  There is a Triage area and protocol in place to attend to persons with suspected COVID-19 symptoms.   
• A 14-day self-isolation is recommended for everyone, whether you have the symptoms or not.  Remember, be responsible and prevent the further spread of the virus to others.
