If You Stay

By staying home and not hosting a large gathering, you greatly reduce your risk of contracting COVID-19. While you may feel out of the woods because to grandmother's house you WON'T go; there are still a few things you can do to maintain or better your overall health during this time.

• Be mindful of your medication or cathing schedule
• Stay hydrated
• Eat a balanced diet - but allow yourself some treats!
• Wash your hands regularly 
• Wear a mask and maintain social distancing if you must make essential errands 

Call your healthcare provider or ABCmedical if you have questions about your medical supplies.

Whether you stay or go, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season!
