4. Should you wear gloves when going to the grocery store or out in public to avoid catching COVID-19?
Yes
No
Answer: No. While it might seem like a good idea to wear gloves, the vast majority of the general public simply doesn’t know how to wear, take off or dispose of gloves properly – and this means cross contamination is a greater risk. Revisit question 3 and wash those hands!

However, it has proven to be particularly deadly for our elderly population as well as people who have underlying health conditions such as lung problems, heart problems and diabetes. People whose immune systems are compromised because of cancer treatments are also at greater risk.

10. How long should you remain in quarantine if you have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19?
a. Until the positive person tests negative
b. For 14 days
c. Until you have a negative test
d. Until you are sure you have no symptoms
Answer B: It’s important to remember that quarantining is different than isolating if you test positive. Since you can test positive for COVID-19 for a full two weeks after exposure to a positive person, quarantining at home for 14 days is the best way to ensure you help stop the spread. This is true even if you test negative. If at any point during quarantine you develop symptoms, you should be tested immediately.
