DO NOT PANIC – STAY INFORMED

YOUR TRIBECA CARE MANAGER IS THERE TO HELP

The latest spike in Covid infections is, as yet, not a cause for alarm anywhere in the world as the signal to the beginning of another pandemic. Global laboratories and research scientists have identified a new variant, post the Omicron and RSV versions and there is also the development of a new vaccine. Moderna has received approval to start producing the new vaccine, in the US.

SOME DOs and DONTs TO STAY SAFE

Wearing a Mask

There is no need to wear one at home. But, if you are over the age of 65, doctors are recommending that you wear a mask in crowded areas (shopping malls. doctor’s chambers, movie halls, social gatherings). And please do wear a mask to protect others if you have flu-like symptoms yourself

Staying updated with Influenza and Pneumonia Vaccinations

Both the annual Influenza vaccine and the once-in-five-years pneumonia vaccine have proven to be helpful in preventing severe case of Covid infection and/or mitigating the severity of symptoms. If you are immune-compromised and have a history of respiratory ailments (including COPD and Emphysema), please make sure that your vaccination status is updated.

Simple Precautions

✅ Wash hands regularly. Especially after returning home from shopping or even a social visit
✅ Improve air ventilation in your home, keep windows open for fresh air and sunlight
✅ Test immediately if you feel ill, feel feverish and have a bad cold – early detection prevents spread.
✅ Avoid close contact with people when they tell you that they have been ill with flu. Delay social contact till they are fully recovered.
✅ Start twice a day salt water gargles – these are recommended by many doctors for elderly people
