Smart choices for your situation
The COVID pandemic has taken a great toll on all Americans. And, it continues to threaten those who are most vulnerable. But, we now have the knowledge and tools to protect ourselves and others, and safely get back to what matters most. Family, friends, and fun. Learning and growth. Productive work and making plans for the future.
COVID doesn’t stand still, and neither do we. That’s why what we know and how we act must always change. More serious versions of COVID may appear, but we’ll have the newest tools and techniques to protect ourselves. Safety measures will relax when COVID cases go down, but we know we must remain alert and prepared.
My COVID Toolkit gives you what you need to make smart choices for your unique situation, whether you’re going to work or school, doing everyday tasks like grocery shopping, planning your social life, or attending special events. Following simple safety measures can reduce your risk of getting sick and making others sick.
