The global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused major disruptions in everyone’s lives, and while there are signs of hope on the horizon, we still have a long way to go before we truly get control of the situation. It’s important that we all continue to do our parts in keeping the virus at bay for both ourselves and others, because only when we work together can we truly put this public health hazard behind us.
If you’re wondering whether you are truly doing COVID-19 safety right, just keep a few tips in mind.
Continue to Follow Local Safety Rules
There is no statewide requirement for Oklahomans to wear face masks, nor is there a statewide stay-at-home requirement. However, numerous cities and counties have instituted these requirements individually. Additionally, it is highly encouraged that everyone wear face coverings regardless of requirements in their local area. Check with your city or county to learn more about any requirements.
Limit Interactions with Others
Social distancing was one of the most-used phrases of 2020, and it continues to be important in 2021. The less contact you have with others, the better your chances of neither catching nor spreading COVID-19. You should always think carefully about whether socializing with others is in your best interest, and whether you can take proper safety precautions while doing so. Some localities also require occupancy limits of restaurants and other spaces.
Wash Your Hands, No Exceptions
The easiest way to avoid any illness is to wash your hands. Not only should you do so after using the restroom, but also before eating, after leaving a public space or after exercising. Keeping an alcohol-based hand sanitizer handy can make this a lot easier.
Get Vaccinated
Oklahoma has implemented a comprehensive process to allocate COVID-19 vaccines to localities and individual medical groups. You should also contact your medical care provider to learn more about their specific vaccination schedule. Shots are available for free to most patients. It is highly recommended that everyone take the COVID-19 vaccine, particularly those who are classified as high-risk group. You can find out more by visiting the state’s Vaccine Information site.
Get a Regular Checkup
To protect yourself against any illness, it helps to stay healthy. That’s why you should receive a regular checkup each year from your primary care physician. By doing so, your doctor will be able to keep track of your health and make certain that you continue to have the assistance you need to stay healthy. If you have quality health insurance in place, then you will be able to receive this care at a minimal cost.
