Why should you wear a mask? What exactly does wearing a mask do? What kind of mask should you wear? Read what Lincoln healthcare experts have to say about wearing a mask during the pandemic, including Dr. Bob Rauner of Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln.
Human beings are social animals. Despite the proliferation of social media in our society, human beings still crave actual “face time” -- one of the reasons many of us may be having such difficulty with social distancing. Take heart -you can still be social in person; you just have to do it right.
It’s a challenging time. We can survive this trying time by being responsible, generous and vigilant about our own health and that of others. But there is one more important thing – be good to yourself. That means making sure you’ve included healthy eating options in your grocery cart, staying physically and mentally active, and getting outside.
