Dear Tenants, February 28, 2020
As we move into March, I think all of us can hope for an early spring arrival as predicted by Punxsutawney Phil!
However on a more serious note, this letter is being written to address the worries of this year’s flu season and the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak we have been seeing on a large scale internationally, and small-scale domestically.
As always, The Community at Sunset Wood is researching, and staying on top of, ways to keep you safe. Although we are at a very low-risk in Central New York to see an outbreak of any kind, we urge you to still take precaution with any feelings of sickness you may have. Therefore, if you are feeling unwell for any reason you must keep inside your unit, avoid common areas, and seek immediate medical attention.
Here are some tips given by the Center for Disease Control:
Cover your coughs and sneezes – throw used tissues in a lined trash can, and immediately wash your hands.
Clean your hands often – Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60 to 95% alcohol, covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry.
Monitor symptoms – seek prompt medical attention if an illness is worsening. Before seeking care, call your healthcare provider and tell them what your symptoms are.
You will see that starting approximately Wednesday, March 4, we will be providing Purell Advanced Instant Hand Sanitizer pump bottles throughout the building. We urge you all to consistently use this product in the manner described above to avoid the spread of any harmful viruses.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns please give me a call or see me directly.
Respectfully,
Dominick M. Manfredo
Executive Director / CEO
