Visiting Angels of Aurora Offers Essential Senior Care Wellness Tips During COVID-19 for Seniors
The most important way to keep your loved one safe is to prevent them from coming into contact with COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has outlined ways that the coronavirus can spread in our community:
- Person to person - people who have the coronavirus spread it through touch, coughs, and sneezes.
- On surfaces - on hard surfaces (like metal), COVID-19 can last for up to 2-3 days; on more porous surfaces, like cardboard, COVID-19 can last for a few hours.
- In the air - COVID-19 remains active for up to three hours in the air.
