Tom Rittner, an Internet Application Design junior from Bethlehem, shown here while BOCES classes were still in session, has posted these comments in a student forum: “Right now we all need to do three simple things. Stay indoors unless necessary and if you do go out, wash your hands before and after you leave a public place, if you cannot wash your hands, use hand sanitizer. Two, keep your hands away from your mouth, that is going to be the main vector for you to become infected with COVID-19 or other viruses/bacteria and third, stay safe, you can go outside, just don’t stay in one place too long, and avoid anyone who is coughing or sneezing or shows signs of illness.”
