Covid-19 has been found to spread mainly from person to person via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wearing face masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19 when combined with every day preventive actions and social distancing in public settings.

Here are some guidelines on how to properly wear and take off a mask.

WEAR YOUR MASK CORRECTLY

• Wash your hands before putting on your mask
• Put it over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin
• Try to fit it snugly against the sides of your face
• Make sure you can breathe easily
• Do not place a mask on a child younger than 2

USE A MASK TO HELP PROTECT OTHERS

• Wear a mask to help protect others in case you’re infected but don’t have symptoms
• Keep the mask on your face the entire time you’re in public
• Don’t put the mask around your neck or up on your forehead
• Don’t touch the mask, and, if you do, clean your hands

FOLLOW EVERYDAY HEALTH HABITS

• Stay at least 6 feet away from others
• Avoid contact with people who are sick
• Wash your hands often, with soap and water, for at least
• 20 seconds each time
• Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available

TAKE OFF YOUR MASK CAREFULLY WHEN YOU’RE HOME

• Untie the strings behind your head or stretch the ear loops
• Handle only by the ear loops or ties
• Fold outside corners together
• Place mask in the washing machine
• Wash your hands with soap and water

Juanita Buskill is known to family and friends as “Nuddie”. Nuddie arrived to Greenville with a diagnosis of Degenerative Disc Disease, Osteoarthritis, muscle weakness & Cognitive Communication Deficit. She had a poor appetite and was underweight. Upon admission, Nuddie began receiving Physical, Occupational and Speech therapy. She changed her dietary requirements and changed her diet to a Regular Mechanical Soft diet with supplements twice daily. Overtime, Nuddie’s family began to see the great strides she was making. She began ambulating with a walker, communicating with others, and even gaining weight! Today, Nuddie lives in Greenville’s Nursing Personal Level of Care home, requires little assistance with her activities of daily living and has gained over 7 pounds. Great job, Nuddie!

Mr. Richardson admitted to Greenville Nursing & Rehab from the hospital with Atrial Fibrillation & Bradycardia. Prior to hospitalization, he lived at home with his beautiful wife Sarah. Along with his diagnosis, it was noted that he had had several falls and generalized weakness. Physical and Occupational Therapy began working with him and found that he was very motivated, had a pleasant disposition and a good sense of humor, which made his therapy time fun! He was surrounded on the outside with such a wonderful support system. His family members would visit with him outside through the window daily, with his great-grandchildren holding up cards of love for him to read. Mr. Richardson continued to make significant gains in his strength, endurance & balance. He improved in his gait and transfers surpassing his prior level of function! Mr. Richardson is truly a success! Upon discharge, his wife met him outside with a kiss and a ride home!
