Post date: Mar 18, 2020 9:34:45 AM

Greenville, South Carolina - In the light of the growing COVID-19 crisis, NPHC-GG is changing our face-to-face meetings to online conference calls. The first meeting this affects is our upcoming meeting on March 30, 2020 at 6:15 PM.

We are urging all of our member chapters to limit their events to comply with any local, state and national guidelines. Currently (as of 3/17/20), South Carolina Governor's Office is asking groups not to have any events with more 50* or more people.

All members should promote CDC's guidelines for helping to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, include the following items:

• Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly (at least 20 secs)

• If you cough, cough into your elbow, not your hands.

• When you are out, practice "Social Distancing" (keeping more than 6 FT apart) whenever possible.

• Don't go to work, if you feel sick.

• If you feel sick, call your doctor or using Tele-Health appointments : (MUSC or PRISMA).
