Working Together to Slow the Spread of COVID-19

Many communities across the country are seeing different levels of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. While anyone can get COVID-19, people with underlying medical conditions such as cancer patients receiving treatment, and survivors, have a higher risk of serious complications from COVID-19. This high risk is due to a weakened immune system from cancer and its treatments. Caregivers and family members are part of the first line of defense in preventing cancer patients and survivors from getting infected with this new virus. But it doesn’t stop there – everyone can do their part to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in communities. For cancer patients, caregivers, and family members, this guide offers steps to stay healthy while staying home. Learn more about what you can do to not get sick, and tips for handwashing and daily life.
