COVID-19 Coronavirus Disease
Help Stop The Spread
According to the New Jersey department of health there have been 49,480 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Bergen county as of today.
The CDC and public health experts agree the most effective ways to protect against the coronavirus is to wash your hands thoroughly with soap, avoid touching your face, and to wear a mask when in public.
When you wash your hands with soap and water, you're not only washing the virus particles off your hands, you're also "annihilating the viruses.
Stop the spread of germs by annihilating them with proper hand washing and taking proper precautions!
