THE MILWAUKEE URBAN LEAGUE IS HERE FOR YOU.

The rapid spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is changing our way of life. The Milwaukee Urban League is here to keep you informed. 

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) threatens communities across our nation and millions of people around the globe. As COVID-19 continues to effect the Milwaukee community, MUL encourages everyone to practice all preventative measures outlined by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as the Wisconsin Department of Health Services including, but not limited to:

• Wear a mask. It is required in Wisconsin.
• Practice social distancing

• Washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. 
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze.
• Avoid making unnecessary contact with your face. 
• Wiping down cellular devices, light switches, and common areas in your home with alcohol/bleach-based wipes.

AVOID CLOSE CONTACT

Along with cleaning hands and commonly used surfaces, social distancing is strongly recommended in reducing the spread of the coronavirus. As medical professionals work to find effective treatments and vaccinations for the coronavirus, maintaining physical distance and minimizing the number of times we come in close contact with each other is one of our strongest tools until scientific progress is made. Please remember the following as you prioritize your health and safety: 

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.
