How to Avoid Coronavirus

How to Avoid Coronavirus and Still Get Your Medical Cannabis

We, along with the majority of people in America, have been hyper-focused on how to avoid Coronavirus illnesses over the past two months.  The bulk of the CDC guidelines surround easy suggestions that anyone can follow.  Here is a breakdown of things you can do today to avoid coronavirus.

Know how the virus spreads is key when trying to avoid coronavirus.

• There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
• The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.
• The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
  • Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
  • Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks.
  • These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
  • Some recent studies have suggested that COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Stay home as much as possible
• Put distance between yourself and other people.
• Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread virus.
• Keeping distance from others is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.

• You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.
• Everyone should wear a cloth face cover when they have to go out in public.
• The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.
• Do NOT use a facemask meant for a healthcare worker.
• Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.

• If you are in a private setting and do not have on your cloth face covering, remember to always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
• Throw used tissues in the trash.
• Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

• Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily.
• If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.

Use disinfectants appropriate for the surface.  To make a bleach solution, mix 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water.  For alcohol solutions, ensure solution has at least 70% alcohol.  Products with EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens claims are expected to be effective against COVID-19.
