Don't ignore a fever, especially if you are going through #chemo.

[CDC Cancer @CDC_Cancer]

Cancer patients and survivors, keep a working thermometer in a convenient location and know how to use it in case you get sick. A fever during #chemo is a medical emergency – call your doctor immediately if you have one. https://t.co/LqoV5FB88H

Remember to step away from the computer and your devices. #COVID19

[CDC @CDCgov]

Be sure to #takebreaks from news and social media about #COVID19. Too much news about the pandemic can be upsetting. When you do need information, get the latest from your local or state health department and CDC. https://t.co/Xf3wah2G31

[Surgery Group LA @SurgeryGroupLA]

If you don’t want to get #COVID19, stop touching your face!

Touching your face can significantly increase the risk of infection and studies have found you touch your face at least 16 times an hour.

You wash your hands often, but how do you keep your house clean from #COVID19?

To disinfect surfaces, try a bleach solution. @CDCgov recommends mixing 4 tsp bleach to 1 quart of water.

Never mix bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser.

If #COVID19 has you working from home, you may have found it’s difficult to be productive.

Set up a specific workspace, use noise-cancelling headphones, & try a video conferencing tool to stay connected.

#COVID19 is sneaky. You can have it and not know. We know physical distancing, WFH & cancelling your plans is not enjoyable, but it is the most important thing right now.

What we do today will affect how the virus spreads in the days ahead.
