I want to take a moment to share my appreciation for all the people taking calls at 811, providing important guidance to people during this pandemic. Thank you.
How can you prevent transmission of diseases such as #COVID19? Disinfect objects/surfaces that are frequently touched (doorknobs, faucet handles, keyboards, etc.). If disinfection products are unavailable, use a mix of 1-part bleach and 9-parts water. https://t.co/i9beXtSAwd
Some people are more vulnerable to complications from #COVID19 including people with pre-existing conditions and people over the age of 80. We all have a responsibility to stay home when we're sick; don't visit care homes or hospitals when you feel unwell.
Parents: We have 3 ways for you to report your child’s immunization records. Drop off, mail/fax or submit online to public health. See our website for details: https://t.co/u6PNsBfvjU
