10.01.2022 Did you know that some places and situations help coronavirus spread more easily? To keep yourself safe, avoid the three Cs: Crowded places with big mobs of ...people around Close-contact settings like being up-close talking Confined and enclosed spaces with not much fresh air or windows open Some places have all of these things going on like bars or the casino, so it’s best to stay away for now to keep you and your family safe. Don’t forget to cough and sneeze safely, keep your hands clean and stay a safe distance from others. And if you are sick, stay home and call the Congress coronavirus hotline on 1800 514 400.
