Today on DelmarvaLife –
The cold and flu season on the Delmarva Peninsula is well underway. If you have not received your flu vaccination, it is not too late, and it is the best protection against catching the flu. In addition, the Delmarva Peninsula is now experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases affecting hospital Emergency Departments and inpatient units. We talk with Clincial Quality Specialist Gail Lemay with TidalHealth Peninsula Regional’s Emergency Department about what you should consider before making a trip to the emergency room.
COVID-19 has changed the way we clean and sanitize our spaces. The crew at Heather’s Homeworks knows that best. They have taken training courses on how to be sure that the homes they clean are virus free.
