Spring Break Safety Tips_2021-04-08

This past year has been challenging for everyone. Spring break is a great time to get some much-needed rest & relaxation and focus on yourself and your family. Check out the tips below to help you and your loved ones stay safe and well over spring break!

Traveling:

Spring break is a popular time to explore new places and visit family and friends. Do your research to ensure that you follow any travel requirements for your workplace, school system, and travel organization. In addition, be sure to follow your respective state’s COVID guidelines.

Activity Injuries:

With the warmer air and sunnier days, it’s impossible to stay inside all day! Hiking, biking, and other sports are excellent physical activities; however, they do put you at risk for sprains and strains or other injuries such as concussions. Be sure to prepare for the day’s activities, and if an injury does occur, ClearChoiceMD Urgent Care will be here for you.

Seasonal Allergies:

Smelling the roses and sneezing? Pollen released from flowers, grasses, and trees are common allergy triggers in the spring. There are many over-the-counter medications available to help keep you on the move. Avoiding touching your eyes and changing your clothes after being outside are also easy ways you can protect yourself from pollen. In severe cases, a doctor may need to diagnose your allergy and provide you with a prescription.
