Walden Shares Recommendations to Protect Yourself and Others from Coronavirus

The following press release was published by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on March 5, 2020. It is reproduced in full below.

WASHINGTON, DC- E&C GOP Leader Greg Walden (R-OR) went on “Bill Hemmer Reports" to share updates on the coronavirus and recommendations to mitigate the spread of the virus.

1. Wash your Hands

Well the first thing I say is use common sense. We can all help with this if you use hand sanitizer. If you actually use it and wash your hands and do the things all the medical professionals say: start there.

1. Get your flu shot

Second - Make sure you’ve already gotten the flu shot for this year. It will still be effective in 40% - 45% of people. That will help reduce the number of people who are sick and going into our hospitals and in to see doctors.

1. Stay home if you’re sick

And third, if you are sick, stay home. Help not spread not only other diseases but perhaps if you have the coronavirus.
