Above all else, the PRTC wishes everyone to remain safe, stay healthy, and and don't forget to check in on your family, friends, and neighbors, especially those most vulnerable (older adults, people who have serious underlying medical conditions (i.e. those with heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, pregnant women, etc.).  Read more here

 

The PRTC also would like to help the best way we are able by providing information regarding COVID-19.

 

As the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us in one way or another, and with the constantly changing, and often experiencing difficulty sifting through all the information coming at us, it is the PRTC's hope to better serve the community by providing the best information we are able in a single location.  

​

As part of the PRTC's attempts to obtain information, Robert Corrick, Vice President of the PRTC attended a meeting with the City of Palmdale last week.  During this meeting the following information was provided:

  • Business Resources information packet​ found here

  • A medical perspective update received from Kaiser Permanente with practical information which can be found here

Best Practice Recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC):

​

Clean your hands often:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

  • If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.

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

Avoid close contact:

Take steps to protect others:

Stay home if you’re sick

Cover coughs and sneezes

  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.

  • Throw used tissues in the trash.

  • Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Wear a facemask if you are sick

  • If you are sick: You should wear a facemask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. If you are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then you should do your best to cover your coughs and sneezes, and people who are caring for you should wear a facemask if they enter your room. Learn what to do if you are sick.

  • If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers.

Clean and disinfect

  • Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.

  • If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
