Staying Safe and Informed in Challenging Times

The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped our world, highlighting the importance of staying informed and taking proactive steps to protect ourselves and our communities. At Queen's Pharmacy, we’re here to provide you with trusted guidance, reliable resources, and essential services to navigate these challenging times.

Understanding COVID-19

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. It spreads primarily through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. While most cases are mild, the virus can cause severe complications, especially for older adults and individuals with underlying health conditions.

How to Protect Yourself and Others

1. Get Vaccinated and Boosted

Vaccination remains the most effective way to reduce the risk of severe illness and hospitalization. Stay up-to-date with booster doses to maintain immunity. Our pharmacy offers COVID-19 vaccines—contact us to schedule your appointment.

2. Practice Good Hygiene

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol when soap isn’t available.

• Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth.

3. Wear a Mask When Necessary

Masks are effective in reducing the spread of respiratory droplets. Follow local guidelines on mask-wearing, especially in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces.

4. Stay Home if You’re Unwell

If you experience symptoms such as fever, cough, or loss of taste or smell, stay home and seek medical advice. Get tested for COVID-19 to confirm your condition.

5. Maintain Social Distancing

Whenever possible, keep a safe distance from individuals outside your household, particularly in high-risk areas.
