For almost a year, COVID-19 has been the main topic of conversation and concern for people around the world. There are a few attainable steps and actions that can be taken to keep yourself and others safe and healthy throughout the rest of the winter season.

Wash Your Hands

Handwashing remains the most critical step to disease prevention. Washing your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds kills or removes most viruses and bacteria. When soap and water are unavailable, using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer offers many of the same benefits. Handwashing can keep you from infecting yourself, as well as prevent spreading infection to others.

Get Vaccinated

The uncertainty regarding the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine is causing worry in many people, but it is also important to stay up to date on your other vaccinations. When Central Jersey Urgent Care and My InstaDoc Urgent Care receive our vaccine doses, we will reach out to you on our social media platforms and by email.

Practice Healthy Eating and Exercise Regularly

It is no secret that diet and exercise are important factors of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise can reduce stress, enhance sleep quality, and improve heart health. A well-balanced diet makes sure your body has plenty of energy and nutrients so it can function properly.

Keep Your Doctor’s Visits

When COVID-19 first arrived in the United States, doctor’s offices and other healthcare facilities scrambled to cancel routine visits or schedule visits online. Telemedicine visits are a very viable option for some patients but other situations require in-person services. If your doctor recommends an in-person visit, scheduling that appointment should be of top priority. . Healthcare facilities are taking extraordinary steps to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection, and routine care can help you avoid other medical problems.

Listen to the Experts

When it comes to your health, it may be difficult to decide the best course of action. Confusion arises because information can be conflicting and comes from various sources. When in doubt, visit the CDC and WHO websites for reliable information about how to stay healthy this winter.

Read Beyond the Headlines

News networks and media sources use headlines to capture your curiosity or interest, so they can be sensational. Using just the headline or the first three lines of an article or a post can cause one to misunderstand the actual story. It is better to skim through or read the entire article before making a medical decision.
