General Adams emphasizes “keeping things in perspective” and apply common sense approaches that everyone should follow: Wash hands frequently; cover your cough; clean household surfaces with disinfectant, and maintain good personal hygiene standards.
I also shared that the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions are proving most at risk for hospitalization and for death from #Coronavirus. Most young & healthy people get only mild illness- but if you are in a higher risk group, be extra cautious w/ hand hygiene!
