The world suddenly changed as a global crisis started early this year. Many countries are facing challenges because of the new strain of coronavirus, which is the cause of a disease called COVID-19. And the most affected are the economic, tourism, and health sectors.

The government now orders quarantine for those who are infected, isolation for suspected cases, and sheltering at home for the rest of the citizens. What is challenging now is how to provide home care services in California effectively, as seniors are one of the most vulnerable to the disease.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or CDC warns everyone that there is no vaccine yet for this disease. And so, for prevention, we should practice the following:

• Wash your hands often.
• Avoid close contact.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.
• Cover your mouth whenever you cough and sneeze.
• Clean and disinfect.

These guidelines are not only for non-medical home care in San Jose, California but for everyone to follow. For now, the best thing to do is to stay at home.
