The COVID-19 Coronavirus - What You Should Know

The spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus threatens communities across the country and millions of people around the globe. The National Urban League encourages everyone to practice all preventative measures outlined by the CDC including:

  • Washing 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.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze.
  • Avoid making unnecessary contact with your face.
  • Wiping down cellular devices, light switches, and common areas in your home with alcohol/bleach-based wipes.
