How You Can Help Slow the Spread of Coronavirus in Richmond

Sometimes it feels like updates on the coronavirus pandemic present more questions than answers. It can be difficult to separate the facts from the myths. This leaves conscientious individuals struggling to find the best path forward.

While it is true that you must keep an eye out for new advice and developments, there are a few coronavirus tips you can use to guide your choices today.

This virus is highly contagious. Those who are infected may not show symptoms for up to two weeks. But if you carry the virus, you can spread it, whether you’re symptomatic or not. 

For this reason, we all must observe practices to limit the spread of coronavirus. Remember at all times that you may carry coronavirus, even if you do not feel ill. Stay home as much as possible. Disinfect your living and work spaces. If anyone in your household is at higher risk for severe illness or death, provide a dedicated area just for them. Keep other family members out of this space as much as possible, and use a mask and gloves when caring for the at-risk individual.

Make sure you and your family are all aware of common coronavirus symptoms. Contact your doctor if you develop a cough, shortness of breath, or fever. If your doctor advises you to recover at home, isolate yourself from other members of your household.

Coronavirus remains viable on varying surfaces for anywhere from several hours to several days. Take care to sanitize anything you bring into your home from outside. Deep clean your property. If you own a retail store or any essential business, put your customers’ minds at ease with regular sanitization practices.
