Harm Reduction Tips during COVID-19 pandemic
Minimize contact where able. COVID-19 can be transmitted by close contact like coughing, kissing, or direct contact with bodily fluids. Try to minimize close contact and ensure condom use.
Avoid sharing supplies, and having others prepare drugs for you. Keep spaces clean, wash your hands often.
Try and use hand sanitizer, or wash your hands after touching frequently touched objects like doorknobs/switches/handles.
Stock up on supplies, medications, and drugs.
Prepare for a possible drug supply shortage.
Some suppliers may be experiencing shortages due to quarantine shut down orders
Prepare for a potential overdose
Stock up on Naloxone and fentanyl testing strips. If you're alone, experiment with using less to lower your risk of OD, and go slowly.
If you're using with others, try to go at different times and make an OD plan.
If you're using alone, please utilize the Never Use Alone Hotline: 1-800-484-3731
