@buckle_n_hide Yes and soap and water as well

#AskABC2020 does hand sanitizer offer protection?

@riezmcclellan I don't think we know that at this time

@mikeantheil No need to wear masks. Masks are reserved for those that are sick and don't want to pass it on to others and for healthcare worker who take care of patients that are sick

@carltonlb It will be 1 year or longer before we have a vaccine. They are working on it.

#AskABC2020 Are we any closer to developing a vaccine for the coronavirus?

@LeslieHaggett No need to worry. The virus cannot live very long on surfaces/packages. Just wash your hands.

@Patcarbrew Please tell your members to stay home if they are sick. Practice good respiratory etiquette. No hugging which I know will be hard. Fist bums or elbow bumps work

#askabc2020 What precautions if any do you recommend to a congregation of 1000+ this Sunday with regard to COVID19?

That is correct

@lizzinabin @ABC2020 The signs and symptoms are similar both for flu and COVID-19 :fevers, chills, body aches, runny nose, sore throat. The test for the flu is different than COVID19 is the only way that we can distinguish them. Get the flu vaccine if u have not done so yet

@ABC2020 @AskABC2020 How do you distinguish between regular flu and COVID-19?
