Just Say Cheese...
When it comes to protecting yourself and those you care about from COVID‑19, you need multiple layers of protection. That’s where Swiss cheese comes in!
Swiss cheese has lots of holes, right? But if you put slices together, some of the holes are covered up. The more slices you add, the more holes are covered.
The same is true with COVID protection. The more layers of protection used, the greater safety you have. Add all the layers for the best protection. Learn more from the University of Iowa Health Care at https://content.uihealthcare.org/?KJsu.Wobj82Yv82Vzf3BhZYKZr76WGDcK
