Free measures to help stop the spread of COVID-19:
You can now get up to 3 medical grade N95 face masks for free distributed at many pharmacies and grocery stores nation wide released from a federal stock pile. Some places include Coborns, Walgreens, Walmart, and CVS.
In addition that state of Minnesota is distributing K95 masks to local health agencies, schools, medical clinics that serve Medicaid recipients, and tribal nations.

• tips from CDC
• Do have your heating system, water heater and any other gas, oil, or coal burning appliances serviced by a qualified technician every year.
• Do install a battery-operated or battery back-up CO detector in your home and check or replace the battery when you change the time on your clocks each spring and fall. If the detector sounds leave your home immediately and call 911.
• Do seek prompt medical attention if you suspect CO poisoning and are feeling dizzy, light-headed, or nauseated.
