Slowly but surely, New
York continues to reopen
with businesses and
families adapting to new
safety guidelines regarding
COVID-19. As the city
gets back to business, there
are new challenges and
many are feeling anxious
about getting around the
city – whether commuting
to work, school, or running
daily errands.
At EmblemHealth, we
are committed to keeping
you safe and healthy during
these uncertain times.
With an 80-year legacy of
serving New York families,
we’ve stood by New Yorkers
through The Great Depression,
and we are here
for you today.
Here are a few tips for
moving around the city
safely if you have to venture
out:
Follow CDC Guidelines:
A recent study indicated
the rate of transmission
during regular
commuting is fairly low,
as long as CDC guidelines
are followed. That includes
wearing a mask and maintaining
a safe distance between
yourself and other
riders.
Make a Plan: Examine
your planned commute
route to find the ideal time
to leave your home or office
to ensure you can wait for
a less crowded train or bus
and will have enough space
to maintain a safe distance
from other commuters.
Be prepared: Have any
necessary items handy and
available during your commute,
including your mask,
hand sanitizer, and gloves.
It might even be helpful to
pack these and other items
the night before so it’s one
less thing to worry about in
the morning.
Be flexible: Consider
being flexible on your mode
of transportation. Before
cold weather hits New York
City, why not think about
walking a portion of your
commute if your schedule
and route allow?
During these uncertain
times, we encourage you to
take advantage of everything
EmblemHealth has
to offer with additional
COVID-19 resources. For information
about topics and
resources that might be helpful
to you and your family,
