COVID-19 Updates

Educating yourself about the coronavirus reduces anxiety and empowers you to prevent and protect yourself and your family from getting sick. I have recorded videos to educate you and your family on the basics of the coronavirus. Click here to watch. 

It is important that we work to stop the spread of coronavirus. By staying home, wearing a mask, and regularly washing and sanitizing your hands, you can make a difference. 

The CDC has recently updated its guidance recommending that all individuals wear a cloth face covering to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Watch the video above to learn how you can make a cloth face-covering out of everyday items in your homes. You can also read more here in both English and Spanish.
