A cold, the flu or COVID-19: What’s the difference?
A cold, the flu or COVID-19: What’s the difference? If you believe you have symptoms and might be infected with COVID-19, it’s best to be safe and get tested.
Layers of Protection
Handwashing is a fantastic, scientifically proven way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It’s even stronger when you combine it with another layer of protection: a mask covering the mouth and nose. Adding six feet of distance makes it even tougher on COVID-19. The more obstacles you place between yourself and COVID-19, the stronger you’ll be in preventing the spread of disease.
These infection control supplies should be available in your workplace. Employers should make sure to have plenty on hand.
- Tissues
- No-touch trash cans
- Hand soap
- Alcohol-based hand sanitizer at main points of entry/exit or when hand soap and water is not available
- Disposable towels
- Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Disinfecting wipes, cleaners or sprays
