Planning on getting together with friends and families for the holidays? Wash those hands a lot to help you avoid sickness.

Area hospitals are revealing that cases of Covid-19,  walking pneumonia, and the flu are beginning to show up in  Urgent Care facilities and ER’s.

Doctors agree that staying home when you are sick, washing your hands, and daily sanitize items in your home such as  door knobs, remotes and other frequently touched places, will help keep sickness to a minimal.

If you cough, cover your mouth.
