 Hello, my name is Demetrius Rump, the Director of Safety and Risk Management for the City of Columbia. This is your monthly safety message for the City of Columbia employees and the public. I can't believe it's been several weeks since the Governor of South Carolina issued the closing of schools. And Mayor Benjamin issued a stay at home order, which I think was the best decision by the both of them. And who's to believe that this was the start of social distance. As we move through this pandemic crisis, it is important that we understand that we will get through this and come out on the other side if we unite and stay together. The country in the City of Columbia has experienced hard times before, but we've been able to come out and unite and be stronger than ever before. We must maintain all the adherence that have been issued to us and we must continue to protect ourselves, our loved ones in the community and look out for one another because it's going to take all of us to be able to beat these pandemic crisis. The CDC has issued some recommended guidelines that I'm going to issue to you today or make suggestions such as, wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water. If feasible, if you cannot, make sure you use hand sanitizer that contains 60% alcohol. Make sure you don't touch your face, your eyes and your nose because it's proven this is how the virus has been transmitted in the body. Make sure that you look out for one another, make sure you wear your perspective equipment when provided. It is also recommended that you use a cloth over your mouth or N95 respirator or surgical mask anytime you're going out within the public. And this is to prevent you from acquiring this virus. Maintain social distance and suggest that you maintain 6 feet apart when you are in public gatherings. And make sure you look out for the elderly. They're also a high risk. There's also been recommendations that individuals with health conditions are very susceptible to this virus. Again, we use these recommended preventive measures and we will come out on the other side stronger and better. Let's stay apart so we can stay together. Stay at home to stop the spread of this virus and save lives. Remember, safety starts with the S, but it begins with you. Thank you. We are Columbia.
