How to make your own face mask

Passing some information along about the Coronavirus COVID-19. This is from the CDC:

There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19. Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

These are everyday habits that can help prevent the spread of several viruses. CDC does have specific guidance for travelers.

Also, if you have a fever, cough, or shortness of breath AND have recently traveled to an infected area OR have had close contact with a person who has a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 within 14 days of the onset of symptoms or with a person who has recently traveled to an infected area, please STAY HOME. THIS IS CRUCIAL IN PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. Do not go to the doctor’s office or to the hospital. Call your doctor for instructions. If you have a true emergency, call 911 and advise them of your symptoms and travel/ contact history.

Did you know that Diabetic shoes help save feet? According to the American Diabetes Association, each year 600,000 diabetic patients get foot ulcers, resulting in over 80,000 amputations.

The Definition: Diabetic shoes can also be referred to as extra depth or therapeutic shoes. They are specially designed shoes intended to reduce the risk of skin breakdown in diabetics with co-existing foot problems (such as neuropathy, poor circulation, and foot deformities).

Most insurances including Medicare and Medicaid will pay for shoes and inserts once a year. We are a Medicare-approved supplier of diabetic shoes and have licensed, certified Pedorthists to assist you. Contact us for more information! 405-364-0261
