Understanding the COVID-19 Coronavirus
There are a lot of common misconceptions about the novel coronavirus, but here are the facts.
What You Can Do
Take social distancing seriously (stay home if possible and venture out for essential reasons like grocery shopping or exercise). Maintain good hygiene and disinfecting practices. You can help others and show acts of kindness even if you are quarantined or social distancing at home. Here are some ways to give back:
- Write/send a card to the elderly at your local nursing home
- Donate to businesses that are helping out with this crisis (food banks, restaurants, etc.)
- Donate to your local charity supporting the underserved
- Order groceries online for vulnerable relatives or neighbors
- Send food delivery to hospital staff or any first responder
- Send care packages to families with children in homeless shelters
- Use social media and online tools to read books to kids
