Hanover, MA, March 18, 2020 -- Experts continue to learn about the COVID-19 every day. Data tells us that transmission of coronavirus occurs much more commonly through respiratory droplets than through objects or materials that are likely to carry infection, such as clothes, utensils, and furniture. Still, people want to take the precaution of cleaning clothes and bed linens to be certain. But can you be 100 percent sure washing your clothes and bed linens at home can safely accomplish that?

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) advises that washing clothes with detergent is sufficient to control viruses. Though if you want to sanitize your clothing, laundering in hot water, 160ºF and with chlorine bleach is the most effective method. Similarly, the CDC also advises that the dry cleaning process, which includes cleaning and pressing, is effective on most viruses.

“The higher the temperature the more effectively you can sanitize clothing and bedding,” said Kevin Dubois, CEO of co-author of Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Dry Cleaning Business. “Most home machines can accomplish that temperature. But you want to be careful that you’re not damaging your clothing by washing the wrong items together at that temperature or using too much bleach or detergent. Our dry cleaning and wet cleaning processes are proven commodities at safely cleaning at that high of a temperature.”

Lapels dry cleaning process features environmentally friendly GreenEarth®, the dry cleaning industry’s only non-toxic cleaning alternative. GreenEarth dry cleaning solvent has the highest flash point of any of the alternative solvents (170F) on the market. The GreenEarth dry cleaning process allows clothes to be dried at the highest drying temperature, 158F, which is equivalent to 70C.

Lapels Dry Cleaning’s wet cleaning services clean clothes at temperatures exceeding the recommended 160 F.

From an environmental standpoint, Lapels uses the world’s ONLY 100 percent environmentally non-toxic dry cleaning process along with 100 percent wet cleaning that offers a sustainable and hypo allergenic process.

Since a trip to the dry cleaner might not be in line with your social distancing, Lapels Dry Cleaning also offers free pickup and delivery.

“With school and business closings, many people are home and trying to limit trips out of the house to reduce exposure. Our free pickup and delivery service is available at most of our locations so customers can have the peace of mind of knowing their clothes are clean and safe while sticking to the recommended guidelines during the current pandemic,” said Dubois.

Added Dubois, “We are also opening our 24 HR Drop box service to all customers, encouraging the use of our Drive Thru service in locations that offer this service and will be reducing hours in most stores to work with our employees to assist in managing the changes within their households”.

Utilizing the GreenEarth solvent and the latest technology in equipment, Lapels Dry Cleaning’s environmentally-friendly cleaning process has no odor and is gentler on clothes, thus lengthening the life of clothes.

Lapels Dry Cleaning also sets itself apart with its customer service. Lapels customers are greeted to a warm and inviting reception area, with friendly customer service representatives, and alteration services.

Phoenix, AZ, March 18, 2020 -- The Journal of Patient Safety recently published a study which concluded that as many as 440,000 people die each year from preventable medical errors in hospitals. Tens of thousands also die from preventable mistakes outside hospitals, such as deaths from missed diagnoses or because of injuries from medications.

A recent Johns Hopkins study claims more than 250,000 people in the U.S. die every year from medical errors. Other reports claim the numbers to be as high as 440,000.

Medical errors are the third-leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Advocates are fighting back, pushing for greater legislation for patient safety.

LaTribuna Christian Publishing's CEO Chaplain Paul Vescio is quoted saying, “The need for additional screening of people who are visiting and working in America's healthcare industry is vital in saving lives. If the people at the front desk would just ask a few simple questions before allowing entry into a healthcare setting thousands of lives per year would be saved. Here are some of the questions needed to be asked, Do you have the flu? Are you sick even with a cold? And, Do you have any infectious illnesses? If so they are asked to leave if not seeking treatment and or given a mask and hand sanitizer. Each day there are thousands of visitors who come and go from hospitals, care centers, nursing homes, medical rehabs etc. Visitors which include medical staff, maintenance workers, EMTs, family and friends, delivery personal and administrative staff etc. If all of these people were properly screened at the front door many lives would be spared each year. Many Nursing homes, care centers, medical rehabs, and other healthcare providers do not have the same screenings that hospitals do and sadly most hospitals do a very poor job of screening visitors and employees for illnesses."

LaTribuna Christian Publishing recently visited Core Medical Center in Phoenix Az and this sign was in the front lobby.

Visitation Restrictions
- Visitors 12 years and under are not able to enter the hospital in an effort to help reduce the spread of the flu and other respiratory illnesses.

Visitors Of All Ages
Please do not visit the hospital if you are experiencing any of these symptoms or have been exposed to anyone with them.
- Fever over 100% Cough
- Runny nose Sore Throat
- Diarrhea Rash
- Please wash your hands before and after visiting.
- Thank You for helping to maintain a safe and healthy environment.

Chaplain Paul Vescio was also quoted saying, “Signs like this one have got to be placed in all healthcare settings across the nation as soon as possible in-order to lower the numbers of preventable medical mistakes and save lives. All visitors, staff, maintenance, and medical personal have got to be properly screened even to the point of scanning their temperature in some cases before they are allowed entry. All those who are sick or have a fever are to be refused entry. The Bible teaches us that we are to treat others as we would want to be treated and to love thy neighbor as thy self and to be good Samaritans towards each other. I can think of no better way in applying these important Godly words of wisdom then to stand up and fight in making American healthcare more safe, compassionate, efficient, affordable and loving for us all. Amen.”

Chaplain Paul is also quoted saying, “Mr. President, please put these important healthcare precautions in place in-order to lower the numbers of preventable medical mistakes in American healthcare and save lives. Mr. President with the coronavirus now at America's doorstep it is imperative that these added precautionary procedures be implemented.”

LaTribuna Christian Publishing is dedicated to fighting for a more safe, fair, affordable. efficient and compassionate healthcare system in America. For more information please visit our web-sites at www.miraclesofkingman.com and www.latribunachristianpublishing316.com

NRS Offers Health Agencies Access to Its Digital Advertising Network to Provide Critical Public Health Updates During the Covid-19 Crisis

Newark, NJ, March 14, 2020 -- National Retail Solutions (NRS), the operator of a leading nationwide point-of-sale (POS) network for independent retailers, announced that it is offering public health agencies complimentary access to its digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising network to disseminate critical public health announcements during the Covid-19 outbreak.

“Our retailer partners are concerned by the potential of the Covid-19 outbreak to impact their businesses. However, they are even more worried by what the virus may mean to the health of their customers and their families,” said Elie Y Katz, President of NRS. “To support these independent retailers and the urban communities they serve across the country, we are offering governmental public health agencies the ability to display PSAs free of charge on the 8,000 plus screens of our NRS Digital Media Impact Network to share critical public health information, updates and advisories.”

Eli Korn, COO of NRS, explained, “The majority of our retail partners serve multicultural, immigrant-dense metropolitan areas across the U.S. These are among the most hard-to-reach and culturally diverse communities in the country. Within these communities, bodegas and independent neighborhood convenience stores often serve as informal community centers where customers share news and information. We invite governmental public health agencies to utilize our digital display network to help keep these communities advised of evolving public health advisories and critical healthcare and safety information.”

The NRS Digital Media’s Impact Network reaches approximately 35 million people per month, predominantly in the nation’s urban centers. The Impact Network’s display screens are located at eye-level at the point of sale in 8,000+ independent convenience, grocery, liquor and tobacco stores nationwide. Unlike most conventional advertising venues, NRS has the ability to provide updated content on demand through its Impact Network as new health information becomes available.

NRS can run 8-10 second static or video advertising as part of a 60-second loop. PSAs and advertisements can be run in any language, and NRS can provide agencies with information on language and demographics regionally and for specific stores. Advertising is visual only (without sound).

NRS is offering this public service to governmental public health agencies for the remainder of the month of March 2020 and may extend the offer at its discretion as conditions warrant. This offer is contingent upon, and subject to, limitations based on network capacity, appropriate volumes, and content at the sole discretion of NRS.

Preventive Measures from Coronavirus

Coronavirus threatening spread in India, here's how you can keep yourself safe from the plague.

As of now, a vaccine has not been invented for the coronavirus. For a fact, prevention appears to be the best cure available so far.

Here are some  measures you need to take:

1.

Avoid any close contact with a person who is ill. Keep at least three feet of distance between yourself and a person who is sneezing or coughing. 

2.

Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes.

3.

Stay at home when you feel sick.

4.

Cover your mouth while coughing or sneezing with a tissue, then dispose of the tissue safely.

5.

Disinfect and clean regularly-touched objects and things using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

6.

Applying a mask is not compulsory unless you are taking care of an affected person. The Centers for Disease 52 Control does recommend that only infected persons wear masks to prevent the spread of the plague.

7.

Wash your hands often with water and soap for more than 20 seconds, mostly after going to the washroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

8.

If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water when hands are dirty.

9.

If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.

10.

Keep in mind the travel China/13 advisory set out by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
