UFCW Local 1500 members have jobs that require you to work closely with the public, so it’s important to know how to stay healthy, as well as avoid panicking or spreading misinformation about the virus.
- TIPS from the CDC on HOW TO STAY HEALTHY amidst the Flu season and COVID-19[Coronavirus]:
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds as often as possible, but especially after using the bathroom, before eating and after blowing your nose or sneezing.

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Also avoid sharing drinks, food, or eating utensils.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
- DO NOT use a face mask unless you are sick. [CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a face mask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases]
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- If you’re not feeling well, stay home and see a doctor.
