How To Prepare Your House In Case A Family Member Contracts COVID-19
Have you given thought to what would happen if you, or a loved one contracted COVID-19? Would you be prepared? What steps would you take to ensure safety? God willing, no one in your immediate household contracts the disease, but in the event something happens it's best to be prepared.
1). Identify Aid organizations in your community
2). Create an emergency contact list.
3). Avoid close contact
4). Routinely clean touched surfaces
5). Choose an isolation room for sick member
Hopefully nothing like this happens in your family. With that said, if it were to occur helping care for that family member can be a bit more tricky. The CDC has a list of several recommendations on their website. Be smart, safe and healthy.
