Well it’s happening. Our normal, everyday lives have a new schedule for an indeterminate amount of time, and the impact of COVID-19 is being felt all over the world. More and new information is being rolled out daily, and we want to ensure we are receiving and sharing accurate information so we all can take the necessary steps to keep ourselves and families safe.

At this time, Ecocentric Mom is still processing orders and sending out our subscription and trimester gift boxes. We aim to ship our boxes out around the 20^th of the month, however due to longer than expected shipping times, there may be a delay in your order. We will send updated tracking information for your boxes as they are shipped.

We want to assure you that our boxes are being assembled by a small team, where we are monitoring our team’s health daily. All personnel who are packing items and in contact with products are following CDC protocols for proper handwashing, wearing plastic gloves and reinforcing hygiene guidelines by world health experts & CDC, and maintaining the 6-feet social distance.

It’s our civic responsibility to take action and not only be responsible for our health, but we must acknowledge how our actions impact others. We are better when we work together and unite in a common goal. By following these tips from the World Health Organization (WHO), we can take care of each other and help contain the spread of the virus:

1. Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
2. Avoid touching your face, eyes, mouth, and nose. 
3. Avoid contact with people who are vulnerable. And if you can’t, wear a mask.
4. Cover your cough with the bend of your elbow.
5. Disinfect surfaces you regularly use. 
6. If you feel unwell, stay at home and call your healthcare provider. 
7. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early, but please call first.
8. Only share information from trusted sources, like the CDC and WHO .

While difficult, the WHO is asking we create as much social distance as possible during this time. In short,

• Stay away from mass gatherings
• Keep a distance of 6 feet or 2 meters from other people
• Avoid touching other people, including handshakes

By using social distancing, we are slowing down the spread of COVID-19, which in turn keeps our resources available to those in need.

We thank you for your patronage and hope you all remain safe and healthy. If you have any questions, please email us at contact@ecocentricmom.com.
