Mayor Muriel Bowser has signed a Mayor’s Order outlining the District’s monitoring, preparation, and response to the coronavirus, which is technically named COVID-19, last Friday, February 28. Focusing on prevention, Mayor Bowser outlined important steps all Washingtonians should be taking to stay healthy, a few of which include:
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if you have symptoms of acute respiratory illness.
DC Health has confirmed there are no cases of COVID-19 in Washington, DC but it is great to be proactive and keep our community healthy!
