When going to a supermarket, pharmacy or other life-sustaining business, you must wear a mask to enter the store. Your mask will help protect our critical workers, like cashiers, those stocking shelves + pharmacists.

New @CDCMMWR report is the first to look at #COVID19 illness in kids in the U.S. Among more than 2,500 cases of COVID-19 in children in the U.S., three children reportedly died. https://t.co/IhlUhAoqsZ
Just as any one of us can get #COVID19, any one of us can spread it. We need to avoid contact with others as much as possible.
We’re going to recover from this crisis, but first, we must get through it, and every one of us plays a vital role in that effort.
Thank you #SchoolNurses who also work at local hospital, LTC facility, homehealth, etc. We’d love to recognize your commitment to the health & well-being of not only your school but your community! Please post a pic, give coworkers a shoutout, or share impact of pandemic.
#COVID19 can feel scary + overwhelming for kids too.
Help kids minimize anxiety or fear:
• be available to listen + talk
• stay calm + reassuring
• provide honest + accurate information
• monitor screen time
• remind kids how to reduce spread of germs + stay healthy
If you're feeling isolated, stressed out or alone because of #COVID19, you are not alone and it's okay to ask for help:
