Beyond Covid-19

Stay educated and updated on the corona virus from reliable sources.  Regulate how often you watch news briefings and read information on the topic, especially if it is impacting you.  Go to the CDC website for updates when needed.

Stay connected with others through social media, video conferencing and phones.  Social distancing doesn't mean isolating yourself emotionally.  We are in this together and need to stay connected.  Join IIY virtual events.

Take extra steps to stay physically and mentally healthy.  Boost your immune system, get fresh air, eat healthy and exercise.  For details on staying healthy visit our healthy living page.

If you are experiencing any covid-19 symptoms please contact your health provider and stay home.  

Wear a mask when out, wash your hands, keep commonly used surfaces clean.  Practice social distancing when out.  If you feel sick or have COVID-19 related symptoms such as  fever, cough, muscle pain or loss of taste contact your health care provider.  If you have trouble breathing seek medical attention immediately.

During difficult times like these we need to be inspired, laugh, love and find moments of happiness whenever we  can.  Surround yourself with positive people and limit the negative things and people you let occupy space in your day.  Meditate, listen to inspiring movies, watch uplifting movies, pick up a new hobby and talk to people who bring you joy.
