Be Safe Rules:

We ask for your help in contributing to the safety of our community by following the CDC’s recommendations on prevention and travel. The best practice is to assume you are a COVID-19 carrier and follow these BeSafeRules:

1. Practice Good Hygiene by washing your hands frequently and thoroughly while out and at home.
2. Clean and Disinfect Your Home daily by first using detergent or soap and water to clean any dirty surfaces and then disinfectant (using EPA-registered products containing a dilution of bleach or 70% alcohol) commonly-touched places such as door knobs and handles, tables, counters, light switches, phones, TV remote controls, faucets, sinks and toilets, desks, computers and keyboards.
3. Stay Home & Avoid Close Contact as much as possible and at a distance of at least six (6) feet apart whether inside and outside.
4. Wear a cloth mask in public at all times. Children under 2 years old or people who have trouble breathing, are incapacitated and cannot remove the mask on their own should NOT wear a mask.
5. Contact a Physician if you are exhibiting any symptoms of illness, immediately contact your primary medical provider.

We will keep you updated on our team’s status, and we know we will get through this together.  More importantly, we urge you to stay safe and follow all recommendations.  In this time of need, we are here for you.  Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.  Be safe!!!
