Urdu Wear a Mask

As COVID continues to be part of our lives, there are simple things we can do to reduce the spread of the virus.

An easy way to reduce the spread of COVID is to open doors and windows. Letting fresh air into your home or office will reduce the virus in the air and decrease your chance of getting COVID.  

During the colder months, you can open windows and indoor spaces for ten minutes every hour to avoid getting too cold.

Consider meeting outdoors if you plan to catch up with family or friends.
