We here at 101.3 myFM want to know what people are saying in Milton.
So this week on the Talk of the Town we asked residents if COVID 19 has affected there travel plans.
Here’s what they had to say.
The best way to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses including COVID-19 is to:
- stay home when ill;
- cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or sleeve;
- wash hands with soap and water or with alcohol-based hand rub; and
- clean and disinfect objects and surfaces.
