Message from University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Hospital’s Chief Quality Officer and Infectious Disease physician, Dr. Faheem Younus. Dr. Younus discusses reasons to be concerned about COVID-19, what we can expect to happen in the coming weeks and months and how to prepare. The discussion addresses COVID-19 and the challenges of public worship.

We encourage you to follow the CDC Guidelines for COVID-19 prevention and symptom management.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
