Let’s Keep Maine Healthy – Get Tips to Avoid COVID-19

Let’s keep Maine safe and healthy! We’re all in this together.

Please stay home if you have any symptoms of a cold or flu — especially a high fever — or if you’ve been exposed to someone who was diagnosed with COVID-19 or may have this novel Coronavirus. Dr. Wyshak can “visit” with you by telemedicine video chat as well as help you get tested.

A few tips to stay healthy and keep our communities healthy:

• The U.S. CDC advises the use of cloth face coverings in public settings, such as grocery stores or pharmacies, to slow the spread of COVID-19.
• If you don’t have a mask, cover your mouth and nose with a sweater or shirt.
• Try to stay 6 feet or more apart from other people.
• Eat healthy food to keep your immune system strong.
• Follow doctor’s orders for any supplements or medicines. Be sure to order refills early.

While a cloth face covering is not intended to protect the wearer, it may prevent the spread of virus from the wearer to others.  However, cloth face coverings are no substitute for physical distancing and other recommendations.

The Maine government website is a hub of information for Mainers on everything from staying healthy to plans for reinvigorating the economy’s health.

Thanks for doing your part—and enjoy the benefits of being healthy!
