COVID-19 in Pa.: We have to ensure care for our caregivers

By Chris Woods – published by Pennsylvania Capital-Star – March 29, 2020. It was a horrible day. The headlines screamed, “Stocks Plunge, Rattled by Oil Market and Coronavirus”; “Coronavirus: Italy death toll soars amid travel ban;” “CDC warns against long plane trips and cruises as coronavirus cases mount.” But America’s most important workers failed to make as many front pages as Wall Street, and the travel and tourism industries. So far, the data show that those most vulnerable to the coronavirus are the elderly and those with health issues.  Unless we are prepared for even more disturbing headlines from America’s nursing homes, we must take care of our nursing home workers.

Handwashing At Home, At Play, Out and About

How can washing your hands keep you healthy?
Germs can get into the body through our eyes, nose, and mouth and make us sick. Handwashing with soap removes germs from hands and helps prevent sickness. Studies have shown that handwashing can prevent 1 in 3 diarrhea-related sicknesses and 1 in 5 respiratory infections, such as a cold or the flu.
