Dr. Moses, Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church: Changing the Narrative on the discipline of being a disciple, Do Your Part: Change the Covid Story with the Salt Lake County Health Department

To mitigate the spread of Covid19, the Salt Lake County Health Department launched a new campaign to share real-life stories of people affected by the deadly virus. The following message is from the SLDH

COVID-19 is a major health risk to everyone—even you. As case numbers surge in Utah, the following stories are from people like you who have experienced the impact firsthand. Who are they? 

  • Families who couldn’t get the emergency medical services they needed for a loved one because rooms at the hospital were full
  • Doctors who are making choices today about prioritizing care for their patients
  • Exhausted nurses and healthcare workers trying to keep their colleagues and families healthy
  • Mothers who are still experiencing long-term health impacts from COVID like chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, and chest pain
  • Healthy adults who got COVID and were isolated and alone in a hospital bed

But we have also heard stories of hope and an insistence that we all have the power to change the narrative about COVID. The strategies to prevent COVID-19 infection are simple and effective. Be vigilant about avoiding confined or poorly ventilated spaces, washing your hands, and wearing a face covering and social distancing—even with people you love.
