Information about the State of Georgia’s Shelter-in-Place Order
There is a lot of different (and sometimes conflicting) information out there about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. What we do know for sure is that keeping your distance (6′ – 10′) from people who are coughing or sneezing, washing your hands regularly and thoroughly (for at least 20 seconds) or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer when washing your hands is not possible, cleaning high-touch surfaces with alcohol-based disinfectant wipes, and avoiding touching your face (especially your eyes, nose, and mouth) are the best practices for avoiding infection. Non-medical quality face masks will probably not protect you from the virus, but could help you keep from spreading the virus to others (medical quality face masks should be reserved for health care professionals). Be sure to cough or sneeze into your elbow or cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, not your hands, and stay home if you’re sick (especially if you have a fever). The entire state of Georgia is currently under a shelter-in-place order, so you should stay at home unless you absolutely have to go out.
