Hi Everyone,

When I'm not working on my website and training during the evenings, I'm a Microsoft SharePoint Consultant during the day for my latest client - the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). I thought I would share a few helpful tips from them here.

There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

However, testing trials of a potential COVID-19 coronavirus vaccine are expected to start in about six weeks according to a top U.S. Official.

According to the Epoch Times, the National Institutes of Health has been working with Moderna, a biotechnology company, to produce a vaccine that uses the current strain of the coronavirus.

Right now, the best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
  • Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a face mask.
    • CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a face mask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
    • Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
    • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

I hope you find this helpful.

Stay safe everyone!

Isaiah 😊

I heard rumors that we're running out of face masks, yet I'm still able to find them on eBay and Amazon, so I don't know who to believe.
Thanks Jeff!

Not the media for sure--they're trying to foment even more panic by reporting irresponsibly in my opinion!

Thanks for the info, Isaiah. It's pretty scary.

Stay safe, Paula
