(1/4) Good #SundayMorning! This week’s #SundaySpotlight on #PublicHealth is focused on staying safe & protecting loved ones from #COVID19 as the weather cools down.
(2/4) As the temp goes ⬇️, we are more likely to spend time indoors again, & we know #COVID19 spreads more easily inside—so it’s even MORE important to #WearAMask 😷 & stay six feet apart from those outside your household.
(3/4) Remember that if you want to socialize, it is safest to do so outside 🌳🏞️, where the risk of #COVID19 is the lowest—so put on a sweater & hat and head outdoors! #CovidStopsWithMe
Thanks @SenAlexander, @PattyMurray, @GOPHELP & @HELPCmteDems for a productive discussion on the importance of vaccines today.

(2/6) There are a lot of different masks out there today. When you #WearAMask, follow these do’s and don’ts!
(3/6) When you #WearAMask, be sure to do so correctly. Both your 👃 and 👄 should be covered. Your mask should fit snugly against the side of your face and be secure under your chin.
The United States 🇺🇸 is leading the world in #COVID19 testing; as of today, over 78 Million tests have been completed.
We’ve established surge testing sites in 8 states in areas hardest hit by the virus. This provides high risk communities w/ the ability to test 5000 people every day for 2 weeks. Over 210,000 #COVID19 tests have been conducted at these sites w/ an avg turnaround time of 2 days.
Our #COVID19 surge testing sites are one of the many tools we are utilizing to reduce community spread.

#DYK: Wearing a face covering is a way to protect those around you. I wear mine to protect you, and you wear yours to protect me. #COVIDStopsWithMe
