While hospital-grade masks provide some more protection, cloth masks are sufficient for your everyday encounters out in public. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthaffairs.org\/doi\/10.1377\/hlthaff.2020.00818\">Studies have compared <\/a>cities that used masks with ones that didn\u2019t and the masks proved effective at curbing the spread of the coronavirus.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>When should I wear a mask?<em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>In any indoor public space, when waiting in line, when getting healthcare, and outdoors if you can\u2019t stay 6ft away from others not in your household.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>When can I take off my mask?<\/strong>   When engaged in strenuous outdoor work or recreation, when giving birth, when outdoors with those you live with as long as you maintain a 6ft. distance from others not in your household, when driving in your car alone or with those you live with, when eating or drinking, or in your house with those you live with, provided everyone is COVID-19 free. &nbsp;Here&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/342198360_Association_of_country-wide_coronavirus_mortality_with_demographics_testing_lockdowns_and_public_wearing_of_masks_Update_June_15_2020\">country by country<\/a>&nbsp;comparison of mask wearing as well, updated June 15, 2020.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-regular-font-size\"><strong>Gloves and Hand Hygiene<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Do not wear gloves in public.<\/strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; This is a big pet peeve for me! The CDC doesn\u2019t recommend routine glove use. Wearing gloves in public actually spreads more germs around on more surfaces, increasing your risk of getting sick and spreading germs to others.&nbsp; <a href=\" https:\/\/www.infectioncontroltoday.com\/view\/glove-use-impacts-hand-hygiene-study-finds\">Many people studied<\/a>&nbsp;removed their gloves incorrectly or thought they didn\u2019t need to wash their hands, causing more germs to spread. For example, while wearing gloves at a grocery store, people often touch many dirty surfaces without cleaning their hands in between. Then they reach for their phone and start typing a message. Now the phone is contaminated. The next time you put the phone to your face, it\u2019s covered with all the germs from the grocery store! Ew!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cleaning your hands frequently and properly is your best defense against COVID-19!&nbsp;<\/strong>Clean with either soap and water or alcohol-based hand gel.  While handwashing is always preferred because it is the most powerful way to eliminate germs, sanitizer is still very effective. If you\u2019re washing with soap and water, scrub for at least 20 seconds (hum \u201chappy birthday\u201d twice!) making sure to scrub all surfaces- between all your fingers and under your fingernails. If you\u2019re using an alcohol-based hand gel, rub the product between your hands until it\u2019s dry (no time limit on this one!) making sure again to cover all surfaces of your hands.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>When should I use soap and water vs. alcohol-based hand gel? &nbsp;<\/strong>Use soap and water&nbsp;when your hands are visibly soiled (e.g. after gardening, playing outdoors, or cleaning up baby puke), after using the restroom, after changing a diaper, before and after preparing or eating food, and after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You can use alcohol-based hand gel<\/strong>&nbsp;any time your hands are not visibly soiled and handwashing isn\u2019t an option, such as before and after going to the store, before and after visiting someone in the hospital, and after touching shared surfaces like computers or shopping carts. &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understand Real &amp; Fake News; COVID19 Safety Recommendations from an Infection Prevention Specialist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t spread rumors, and always check your sources.<\/strong>&nbsp;Spreading misinformation is almost as bad as spreading germs! Some good ways to know if a source is legit is to ask yourself these questions: First of all, does this information come from the CDC, the WHO, or another similar guiding organization? They combine all the research to give you the best recommendations. Next, find out- is this a study? Studies are the best source for evidence-based research, and a randomized controlled trial, or RCT, is considered the gold standard. Some click-bait headlines will claim to show you horrifying results of \u201ca new study,\u201d but when you click on it, there\u2019s no real study to be found! Fake news!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Next, if it\u2019s not a study, but an article, check out the author\u2019s credentials. Ask yourself, is this person an expert in the field? Not all doctors specialize in infectious disease, and not all public health professionals are doctors. You want to look for credentials in Epidemiology, Public Health, and\/or Infectious Disease. Also, see if there\u2019s any potential bias. For example, if there\u2019s an article on a new drug written by a drug company, you may want to take it with a grain of salt. Lastly, you want to ask yourself- is this material current? Information about COVID-19 has been changing rapidly and you want to make sure what you\u2019re sharing is the most up-to-date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-regular-font-size\">Testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Only get tested if you need to. &nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;If you have no exposure to a confirmed COVID-19 positive person and no COVID-19 symptoms, you shouldn\u2019t get tested. Exposure is defined as spending longer than 15 minutes with someone, closer than 6ft apart, while one or both of you weren\u2019t wearing a mask. If you meet these criteria or you\u2019re having symptoms, consult your doctor on whether or not you should get tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Many people recover at home with no need to be tested and no need for medical intervention, but if you have risk factors; like you are an older adult, you\u2019re pregnant, or you have asthma, you may want to be tested.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, COVID19 is not the only illness out there and working with newborns means we have to be extra vigilant with health and safety.  Here are our night nanny and nurses&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/2019\/11\/17\/our-night-nurses-tips-new-parents-stay-healthy\/\">tips to stay healthy<\/a> and minimize exposure to flu, virus and cold germs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Do you have questions for Laura or our staff on keeping safe throughout the pandemic?
