Coronavirus Update:
The health and safety of the PhysioFit family is our priority. With recent news around coronavirus, we understand you may have questions about how we can all do our part to stay healthy. We want to share the actions we’re taking to help protect our customers and our team— and what you can do to help.
Ways to help keep yourself healthy and boost your immune system:
- Be sure to get lots of rest.
- Eat a healthy diet rich in antioxidants (fruits, vegetables, legumes, leafy greens, nuts)
- Continue or begin an exercise program.
- Reduce your stress through exercise and meditation.
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water. This is one of the best ways your we protect ourselves from the spread of germs—it will help protect you, too! Remember to clean the ‘webs’ between fingers and thumbs and wash for at least 20 seconds.
- Don’t have access to soap and water? Use hand sanitizers.
- Avoid touching your face, particularly your eyes, nose or mouth, with your hands.
- When you or your loved ones are sick—stay home from work and school to prevent infecting others.
- Sneezing into tissues or your elbow are great ways to minimize the spread of germs. Always wash your hands with soap and water after you sneeze.
- Unless you are in the healthcare profession or caring for an ill family member or friend, always try to avoid others who are sick.
- Stay informed. The CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO) are updating their sites with the latest information.
