Good habits to help stay healthy in the workplace • Table for one: Yes, we miss gathering for meals, but eating means removing face coverings and, when done without social distancing, increases the risk of spreading COVID-19. Enjoy your lunch break on your own or in a setting where you can be at least six feet away from others. Some properties have outdoor eating areas, which are also good options.

• On the road again: If you must share a vehicle with a co-worker, ensure everyone wears a face covering at all times.

• On the other hand: Keep up the frequent hand-washing! Wearing a face covering, maintaining distance and washing hands for at least 20 seconds help prevent the spread of illness.

Thank you for helping us foster a healthy environment!
