As we wait to see how bad the situation will get with COVID-19, there is something we can do to help.
As with all hazards we recognize, if engineering controls cannot eliminate or control the hazards to an acceptable level, we move on to administrative and work practice controls.
While federal, state, and local governments are applying both mandatory and optional controls, work practices are up to us. They are not much different from controls of flu and cold viruses. Social distancing, hand washing, coughing/sneezing in a politically correct way - all things we should already be doing - will all help lower the risk of transmission.
Finally, stay informed. The more we know about how COVID-19 is transmitted from person to person, the easier it is to protect ourselves and our loved ones, and the less we are afraid.
Stay healthy. Stay safe.
