      TIPS FOR A
      SAFER WORKDAY

      Once you’ve been cleared to return to
      your workplace through the Safe at Work™  program, it’s important to maintain
      good health by continuing COVID-19 preventive measures.

      Here are some tips:

      Commute

      If you use public transit, maintain as much distance as possible from other passengers.
      Wear a face covering. Use hand sanitizer after touching any surfaces or doors.

      Food

      If possible, pack your lunch at home and eat at your desk rather than in a shared space.

      Exercise

      While gyms near your workplace may be reopening, it’s safer to continue  working out at  home.  

      Office

      Do not shake hands. Hold virtual meetings when possible and limit in-person meetings
      to small, physically distanced groups.

      EHE Health Answers Your Questions 

      Can I help prevent infection by rinsing my nose with saline?

      There is no evidence that rinsing with normal saline will prevent infection. It is helpful to clear the nasal passages when you are fighting a cold, but it will not prevent a respiratory illness.

      Will influenza or pneumonia vaccines protect me at all?

      Vaccinating for influenza or pneumonia will not protect against contracting COVID-19. However, for individuals who may be immuno-compromised (such as the elderly or patients with respiratory disease), it is recommended that they receive vaccination against influenza and pneumonia to make them less susceptible to disease in general.

      Can I get COVID-19 from my pet?

      There is no current evidence that companion animals like cats and dogs can get or spread COVID-19 to humans. However, since all animals can carry germs that can make people sick, it’s recommended that you practice good hygiene habits like washing your hands after interacting with pets. If you’re ill, it’s advisable that another household member care for pets while you recover. 

      Will COVID-19 be less dangerous when the weather gets warm?

      It is currently not known whether temperature impacts the spread of COVID-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The common cold and influenza spread more during cold weather months, and flu season typically subsides in March and April. However, since COVID-19 is a new virus, nothing should be assumed about its relationship to weather. 

      Will a face mask protect me?

      On April 3, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced a new recommendation that Americans, whether or not they’re experiencing symptoms, wear a cloth face covering in public settings. The use of these face masks is intended to complement (but not replace) physical distancing guidelines. Most people can make homemade masks from their own materials. Surgical masks and N-95 respirators should be reserved for healthcare workers.

      Is ibuprofen not safe for COVID-19 symptom treatment?

      It is recommended to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for high fever reduction and to prevent dehydration. There is no evidence that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including ibuprofen, are unsafe. However, some COVID-19 patients who took NSAIDs experienced side effects, and it is believed that these medications can negatively impact a patient’s immune system.
