COVID-19
Current Situation
• Houston’s COVID-19 positivity rate, daily new cases, and hospitalizations increased for the first time since the summer surge.
• This is concerning, especially as we enter the holiday season when people spend more time indoors and traditionally gather with family and friends.
• We have the power and responsibility to work together to keep businesses and schools open and protect vulnerable populations
.• Mask up, social distance, wash hands, and get tested. Don’t stop. Don’t forget.
Preventative Behaviors
• To protect each other, we need to do these simple things as outlined in the “Better. Together.” campaign:
- Mask up by wearing a face covering over your mouth and nose
- Social distance at least six feet from other people and avoiding gatherings
- Wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20-seconds
- Get tested and isolate if you’re positive.
• Make these habits part of your daily routine.
• Don’t stop. Don’t forget.
• Until a vaccine is widely available, these are our best tools to slow the spread.
