At NYP, our goal is to keep staff, patients, and visitors safe during the outbreak of sickness caused by coronavirus (COVID-19). NYP continues to following directions from our local and state departments of health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Below is information about the virus and tips on how to stay healthy.
Here are tips on how to stay healthy:
- Wash your hands or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick
- Wear a surgical face mask around others
- Practice social distancing (maintain >6 feet between yourself and others when possible)
- Stay home when you are sick
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow, rather than into your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
