CCHD – We continue to receive numerous travel-related questions from residents, including many residents asking if they should travel. CCHD does not recommend that individuals travel at this time. COVID-19 cases and deaths have been reported in all 50 states, and the situation is constantly changing. Because travel increases your chances of getting infected and spreading COVID-19, staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from getting sick. To make the most of your staycation, visit www.goadirondack.com/staycation.

If you MUST travel, take the following precautions to protect yourself and others during your trip:
– Clean your hands often. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, after touching surfaces frequently touched by others, after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing, and before touching your face or eating. If soap and water are not available, bring and use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub your hands together until they feel dry.
– Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
– Avoid close contact with others. Keep 6 feet of physical distance from others.
– Wear a cloth face-covering in public.
– Cover coughs and sneezes.
– Pick up food at drive-throughs, curbside restaurant service, or stores.
