The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease affecting millions of people across the globe. As of this writing, there is a total of 9.1 million coronavirus cases in the U.S., with roughly 550,000 new cases in the past week. The best way to slow down its transmission is to stay informed on the latest news and learn ways to protect you and your household from infection.
As a senior care agency in Eastern Pennsylvania, we will share ways you can protect your health:
- Include proper handwashing in your routine.
Proper handwashing is an effective method of preventing infection. When washing your hands, use warm water and soap. Clean your hands for at least 20 seconds, including lathering your wrists, under your fingernails, and between your fingers. For situations where you can’t wash your hands properly, use hand sanitizer instead.
- Practice social distancing.
Social distancing means staying at home and avoiding large groups whenever possible. As a provider of in-home services in Pennsylvania, we maintain a distance of 6-feet when going out in public. Through a home care provider, seniors reduce their risk of infection without compromising their health.
- Clean and disinfect items and surfaces.
In addition to providing respite care, we also provide homemaker services and live-in care. To ensure your loved one’s health, we can help clean and disinfect frequently used items and surfaces at home. This includes door handles, countertops, and various types of furniture.
