#TravelHealthy
 
With many areas and businesses implementing the start of their reopening phases, PATCO has launched a campaign to give riders tips on how to help keep themselves healthy and safe while riding public transportation.
 
 
Follow CDC recommendations and wear a face covering whenever you leave your home. It doesn’t have to be a mask; any cloth will do as long as you make sure it covers *both* your nose and mouth.
 
 
Use your non-dominant hand to open doors and when touching items in public spaces. It is unlikely you will use that hand when you touch your face.
