Don't ignore a fever, especially if you are going through #chemo.
Cancer patients and survivors, keep a working thermometer in a convenient location and know how to use it in case you get sick. A fever during #chemo is a medical emergency – call your doctor immediately if you have one. cdc.gov/cancer/preventinfect…
It may not seem like it right now, but you should commit to the belief that anything is possible!
The power of positive thinking can move mountains!

Remember to step away from the computer and your devices. #COVID19
Be sure to #takebreaks from news and social media about #COVID19. Too much news about the pandemic can be upsetting. When you do need information, get the latest from your local or state health department and CDC. bit.ly/2xzcKIq
If you don’t want to get #COVID19, stop touching your face!
Touching your face can significantly increase the risk of infection and studies have found you touch your face at least 16 times an hour.
@Healthline has tips on how you can stop:

During this confusing time, it’s important to get your #COVID19 information from reputable sources.
The CDC is the very best place to look for the most up to date information on the virus and what you can do to help stop the spread.
@CDCgov

If you have a mild case of #COVID19, you may be asked to isolate at home rather than the hospital.
Make sure you have a kit of basic medical supplies on hand.
Follow the guidance provided by your doctor to keep you & your family safe.

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. #HighRiskCovid19
If you’re getting #chemo treatment for cancer, there are things you can do to protect yourself from #COVID19. Learn more: blogs.cdc.gov/cancer/2020/03…

You wash your hands often, but how do you keep your house clean from #COVID19?
To disinfect surfaces, try a bleach solution. @CDCgov recommends mixing 4 tsp bleach to 1 quart of water.
Never mix bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser.

If #COVID19 has you working from home, you may have found it’s difficult to be productive.
Set up a specific workspace, use noise-cancelling headphones, & try a video conferencing tool to stay connected.

#COVID19 is sneaky. You can have it and not know. We know physical distancing, WFH & cancelling your plans is not enjoyable, but it is the most important thing right now.
What we do today will affect how the virus spreads in the days ahead.
