The coronavirus pandemic has grown more serious in St. Charles than many people would have expected. The virus we’re dealing with is unlike any we’ve faced before. It’s highly contagious and life-threatening for some of our friends and neighbors. Now our community must pull together to fight the spread of this illness through extreme preventative measures.

Please adhere to social distancing guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control. The fact is, you can become infected with coronavirus without feeling symptoms for as long as two weeks. However, if you carry the virus, you can spread the virus. You do not have to be symptomatic. This is why it’s important to stay home as much as you can. If you must go out, take precautions such as wearing a cloth face mask and leaving six feet of distance between yourself and others. In short, behave as if you had the virus.

If you do become sick, isolate yourself completely. Do not leave home except for medical appointments. Notify your doctor of symptoms such as a dry cough, shortness of breath, and fever. Seek medical attention for emergency warning signs such as inability to breathe, persistent chest pain, bluish lips or face, new confusion, or inability to arouse.

Maintain a disinfected living and work space. Coronavirus remains viable on certain surfaces for as long as a few days. Regular sanitization is essential for limiting the spread of the virus within your home or business. If you own a retail store or other commercial facility, deep clean frequently. At a time when so much remains uncertain, your best efforts to sanitize can provide your staff and customers with much-needed peace of mind.
