Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson said “The Coronavirus is still affecting many people around the world today, and even in our community. We are seeing a constant rise in the number of positive cases on a daily basis.”
Chief Robinson would like to to advise all citizens to take these steps to help keep you and others safe:
• Stay home if you can and avoid any non-essential travel. Avoid social gatherings of more than 10 people.
• Practice social distancing by keeping at least six feet away from others if you must go out in public. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being in a public place or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Clean and disinfect household surfaces daily and high-touch surfaces frequently throughout the day. High-touch surfaces include phones, remote controls, counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, keyboards, tablets and bedside tables.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue to cover your nose and mouth, and throw used tissues in a lined trash can. If a tissue isn’t available, cough or sneeze into your elbow — not your hands. Wash your hands immediately.
Chief Robinson states that he truly believes we will all make it through this difficult time with prayer as well as following these guidelines.
Chief Robinson also encourages all citizens to come by Rayville Police Department at 900 Harrison Street or call 318-728-4431 if you need help in any way.
