CDC Recommendations
Please review these CDC recommendations to minimize the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19):
- Stay home if you are sick; do not come to the ice rink and club.
- Avoid getting closer than 6 feet to anyone coughing or sneezing.
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds (sing the “ABC song”) or use hand sanitizer that has at least 60% alcohol. (This is especially important after going to the bathroom, before eating, after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.)
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Cover your mouth with a tissue or inside your elbow if you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash, and then wash your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces regularly.
- Monitor the WHO and CDC websites for travel advisories and follow their recommendations.
