Essential In-Home Care Wellness Tips for Greater Glendale, AZ
As COVID-19 continues to rampage across the world, families are now more concerned with their elderly loved one’s health and safety than ever before. While we’re still learning about this virus, one thing is certain: it spreads rapidly throughout communities and can spread in the following ways:
- Person-to-Person Contact – this virus easily spreads from person to person through proximity, touching, sneezing, and coughing.
- Surfaces – once someone with COVID-19 touches a hard surface like stainless steel, it can linger there for up to three days.
- Air - this virus can last for up to three hours in the air.
