Virus Facts
We’re in this together.

During times of uncertainty, it’s important to acknowledge the anxiety around the unknown.
It’s our mission to provide education and support to help reduce risk to clients and employees. Aberdeen cares about YOUR HEALTH! We provide training and PPE for all employees and continue to observe infection control protocols.
We are committed to bringing you, our community-at-large, the facts about COVID-19 and how you can help to protect yourself and your loved ones during this time; we only gather information from trusted sources: the CDC, Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and the Executive Office of Elder Affairs.
Aberdeen Client Resources
How can you help prevent the spread of COVID-19?
- Carefully select your sources: News outlets are often looking for ratings. Avoid clickbait.
- Massachusetts Department of Public Health or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are solid sources.
- Everyone is now “an expert.” Rely on the REAL experts. Not Facebook or Twitter…
- Help older adults and others in your network understand the risks and suggested behavior modification. Click here to read the CDC’s recommendations.
Remember The 3 W’S:
Wear your mask
Wash your hands
Watch where you go
- Get Vaccinated!
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue. Dispose of tissue and wash hands.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains 60% alcohol.
- Keep a bottle of sanitizer available at each of your home’s entrances, and in your car for use after getting gas or touching other public surfaces.
- Frequently clean/disinfect surfaces and frequently touched areas (light switches, doorknobs, faucets, etc.). Use disinfectant wipes at the store when they are available, including wiping the handle and child seat in grocery carts.
- Don’t shake hands – instead try a fun wave, nod, etc.
- Keep your hands AWAY from your eyes, mouth, nose…FACE.
- Keep children’s hands clean and consider their public exposure.
- Open doors with a paper towel, closed fist, or your hip. Try not to grasp the handle with your hand, unless there is no other way. Especially bathroom, Post Office, and commercial doors.
