Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
Cover any coughs or sneezes with your elbow, not your hands.
Clean surfaces frequently.
Stay home to avoid spreading COVID-19, especially if you are unwell.
If you must go out, you are required to wear a mask when in a business or where it is difficult to maintain proper social distancing.
Download the COVID Alert PA app and make your phone part of the fight. The free app can be found in the Google Play StoreOpens In A New Window and the Apple App StoreOpens In A New Window by searching for “covid alert pa”.
For the first time nursing home deaths have dropped to just under half (49.5%).

...proving the effectiveness of mask usage!
The vaccine rollout in Pennsylvania is ranked at 34th out of 50 states for vaccinations per 100,000 people It’s being described in newspaper accounts as in a state of “chaos.” Medical personnel are fed up with the delays and confusion.
This was Dr. Rachel Levine’s responsibility before Biden appointed her to the Department of Health and Human Services. She’s left Pennsylvania and moved to the big time.
It has come to my house. My husband had it and now my 17 year old has it. We all wear masks. I feel like a sitting duck!
Ummm that would be HE not SHE...
It is endemic.
I am social friends with many physicians and they all say that is is essentially non-preventable.
You have learned that masks are just for show, not science.
Maybe “It” would be even more accurate.
Well said, and bears repeating.
The compliance rate for this absurd draconian farce is the stuff of wet dreams for aspiring totalitarians.
