In the event that you become sick with COVID, or someone within your community does, it is good to have a plan.
Staying home
- Connect with someone who can drop off groceries or other necessities you might need at that time.
If you have family
- In the home, you will need to physical distance from them.
- Use a different bathroom if you can and if you cannot, make a plan
- Do not share sheets and towels.
- Everyone wear a mask.
- Wash hands every hour or after touching common surfaces.
- Keep cleaning the home.
- Do not hug and kiss other family members.
- If you are able to, stay in a hotel or somewhere isolated.
If you have a child/children
- Find a friend (or some friends) or family that you can call on for backup that agree in advance to take care of your children. All the above precautions would apply.
If a community member tests positive for COVID
- Have a community plan on you can do to help each other if that time came. Some areas to think about:
- Are there any of us who would be willing to host children of affected family members?
- Anyone willing to cook for those with covid and leave a meal at the door?
- Are you willing to pick up and deliver groceries or necessities to those with covid in our community?
- Is there any way you could contribute if the time came?
