A tagline is a short phrase that captures a company's brand essence, personality, and positioning, and distinguishes the company from its competitors. Taglines are long-lasting, instantly recognizable with your brand and have the goal of both attracting customers & remaining top of mind with your existing audience.

In addition to the usual winter colds and flu, we are still deciphering and learning how to manage COVID-19 and its variants, which tend to favor cold weather. The following are some reminders and resources to help you reduce the risk of cold-related illness, injury, and hazards and enjoy a comfortable, healthy winter.
Know and practice preventive basics:
- Keep hands and surfaces clean.
- Don’t touch your nose, mouth, and eyes without your hands being clean.
- Cough or sneeze into your elbow, not into your hand.
- Eat a balanced diet.
- Talk to your health practitioner about supplements or other recommendations to boost the immune system.
- Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
- Get plenty of sleep to keep the body’s defenses strong.
- If you feel sick or have a fever, try to stay home to prevent the spread of illness.
