NYC’s South Asian children and adults are especially at risk for lead poisoning. Poisonings in this community have been associated with the use of traditional consumer products, in addition to lead paint and occupational lead hazards: on.nyc.gov/2pI2kis #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2019
Workers who work around lead, should speak with their doctor about getting a blood lead test. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2019
Parents should be reminded that early identification – through blood lead testing – is key to finding out if a child was exposed to lead, because most children with lead exposure don’t look or feel sick: nyc.gov/leadfree. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2019 Image
In New York, health care providers are required by law to test children at age 1 and age 2, and annually assess and test those at risk of lead poisoning starting at age 6 months up to 6 years. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2019
We do culturally sensitive campaigns and outreach to raise awareness about the health risks of lead exposure, provide recommendations on how to reduce exposure, and encourage blood lead testing for children and people in at-risk communities: on.nyc.gov/lead #NLPPWchat Image

**How to Protest Safely During the #COVID19 Pandemic**

Avoiding large gatherings is an important way to minimize exposure to COVID-19, but if you participate in a protest, here are some strategies to help you stay safe: on.nyc.gov/3eTNcpR

⬇️⬇️⬇️
Prepare Before You Go Out:
✔️ Stay home if you don't feel well. If you go out, you risk getting others sick. If you have an underlying health condition, or are older than 65, consider staying home. You can take action in other ways from home.
✔️Wear face coverings correctly. Make sure your face covering fully covers your nose, mouth and chin. This will help prevent droplets from spreading if you decide to chant.

** New #COVID19 guidance for New York City **
Everyone in NYC should act as if they have been exposed to coronavirus. That means monitoring your health closely and staying home from work if you are sick. New Yorkers who are not sick should also stay home as much as possible.
You should only leave your home for essential tasks, such as work (if you cannot work from home), getting groceries and supplies or essential medical care. Try to use delivery services when possible.
If you are sick, STAY HOME. If you do not feel better in 3 to 4 days, consult with your health care provider. Try to call, text, telemedicine or use your patient portal to contact your physician.

**New guidance from the Health Department on preventing #COVID19**
✔️Do not shake hands. Instead, wave or elbow bump.
✔Consider telecommuting, biking or walking to work if possible.
✔️Consider staggering working hours. For example, instead of 9-5, change some hours to 10-6, etc
✔If you have family or friends who are elderly, have compromised immune systems or chronic respiratory or coronary issues, do not visit them if you feel sick. Stay home and keep your loved ones safe.
✔Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or disinfecting wipes.

And, of course, what we've being saying from the beginning is still true ...

The first person in NYC has been identified for testing for the novel #coronavirus. This means they had recently traveled from China & presented with fever and cough or shortness of breath without another common cause, like influenza and other cold viruses, identified on testing.
The individual, who is under-40-years-old, has been hospitalized at NYC Health + Hospital/Bellevue and is in stable condition. Testing to determine whether this is a confirmed case of the novel #coronavirus will take a minimum of 36-48 hours and depends on CDC testing capacity.
There are now eight confirmed cases in the United States and over 12,000 worldwide. At least 259 people have died. The novel (new) #coronavirus is a strain of coronavirus that has not been previously detected in humans.
