The library continues to follow all advisories and guidelines currently in place from the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) and federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We are in communication with the Borough of Upper Saddle River as well as the Upper Saddle River School District and will continue to work closely with them as the situation progresses.
There are simple everyday preventive measures you can protect yourself and limit the spread of respiratory viruses, including COVID-19 and flu.
A few common measures the CDC advises include:
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or sleeve, not your hands.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol, covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them until they feel dry.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Stay home if you are sick.
- Avoid close contact with someone who appears to have a respiratory infection.
- Clean all “high touch” surfaces every day. These include countertops, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, phones, keyboards, tablets, toilets, and bedside tables.
- Review and follow CDC travel advisories when planning travel.
