This holiday season – more than ever – we have the duty to be informed and Help prevent the spread of illness causing germs with Lysol Germ-Cast™.
Tools To Help Our Family Prevent the Spread of Illness This Holiday
Making a List, Washing it Twice
You know the song: He’s making a list and checking it twice….
Well, it has become a habit in our home, that when we come from holiday errands or shopping, we ask each other: Have you washed your hands?
Scrubbing up is one of the easiest things you can do to keep your family safe this holiday season – and you don’t want to end up on the naughty list, do you?
Wear a Mask
Wearing a mask doesn’t only protect others, it protects YOU too! It’s not hard to do, and there are so many versatile options available now. You can choose one that suits your style, features a soft material or go with a disposable option. I got my holiday look going, what do you think?
Cyber School
My son’s school gave us the option of virtual learning or hybrid.
We chose virtual in a heartbeat!
Winter kicks off flu season, so with COVID-19 on top of that, we felt right about having our son learning remotely. It gives us peace of mind knowing he will not bring those extra germs home to us.
Silent Night
A lot of people are complaining about having an empty home and not seeing relatives during the holidays, and I get it! But just think about it: by having virtual get togethers instead of in-person gatherings, you are protecting yourself and your loved ones. Soon, we will all be able to celebrate with each other again.
Best Kept Secret
I have a great resource for parents and other caregivers who are dedicated to helping protect their loved ones from illness-causing germs and individuals who seek to stay informed on community illness.
Lysol® Germ-Cast™ is a free app that provides daily, county-level flu and COVID-19 incidence levels, as well as a three-week flu forecast and illness-prevention information and product tips from Lysol®.
Through information provided by the public health company, Kinsa®, Lysol® Germ-Cast™ aims to help people protect themselves and their loved ones from the spread of illness-causing germs by giving them the tools they can use to stay informed and vigilant.
Lysol® Germ-Cast™ can easily fit into everyday life as a resource for families and individuals.
Whether heading out of town to visit family for the holidays, returning back to in-school classes or just trying to get a grip on the latest numbers in your area, Lysol® Germ-Cast™ can help you stay on top of it all during the flu season and ongoing pandemic. We like checking the app daily (we are a little obsessed with it) to see how things are changing in our area as well as where our friends and family live.
It’s also a great resource for cleaning tips to help you keep your home virtually germ-free and sparkling this holiday season and beyond.
Lysol® Germ-Cast™ is available for download in the Apple App Store and via Google Play.
Can’t wait to hear what you think!
As usual, give us a Trendy Shout!
The idea of an app that reminds us to do the right thing is great. Meanwhile, it would be helpful if we could find the product stock in the stores.
this app is amazing, i use it and it’s super helpful. my kids are virtual as well.
This is a great reminder for all of us. I see a lot of people being so excited about the holidays that they started being lax and forgetting about the health protocols. We’re actually doing a virtual get together this yesterday.
I wasn’t aware of thse tools! love this idea of how we can prevent illness, thanks for putting this together,
wish that my child school done more , they are still open and when they are home there is no online learning as per say just an email telling them what to learn
Here in the Philippines aside from wearing a mask we also are required to wear a face shield whenever we go out. just thought about sharing it lol. i hope you and your family have a great holiday ahead.
Apps like this one really are the support we are looking for in addition to what we get from other sources.
The only way to prevent the spread of illness over the holidays is to remain physically with just the people in your household. Everything else can be done virtually!
Thanks for the reminder.. It’s always great to be reminded cause even if there’s a vaccine already,the virus is still there. So let’s be careful .
These are awesome tips that I should follow. I need to check the Lysol® Germ-Cast™ app too! It’s definitely better to prevent the illness than to cure it!
The utmost utility to not miss a single move!
My kid has been really great during the pandemic with cyber school, the only thing that has been hard is that he has musicclasses but they have been okay to 🙂
My kids’ school did not give them a remote school option. So I chose to homeschool my 13 year old and my 15 year old is doing distance learning classes… which is different than remote, but works okay for us. Staying healthy is what is most important!
Great tips to keep us healthy! I am always amazed that there is an app for everything, even keeping you sanitized! Awesome!
These are awesome tips to help prevent the spread of illness this holiday season! So important, especially during the holidays. Definitely need to download this app, how cool!

cute & little
I agree with these as well. This year is just going to be so different for us all. I know we can all make the best of it though. I like the idea of a quiet time at home for the holidays though. I need to check this app out too. Sounds like a nice app.
It’s better to be safe than sorry. Hopefully the holidays will look different next year.
I hadn’t heard about the germ cast app. What a great idea! I’m definitely going to download it.
These are very important tips to follow. We are traveling to help my mom out and we will be playing it safe with these tips.
Thanks for the reminder.. It’s always great to be reminded cause even if there’s a vaccine already,the virus is still there. So let’s be careful .
I love the idea of using technology to help keep myself and others safe. Being able to track the COVID trend with this app is fantastic!
I’ve been doing my best to stay safe throughout this pandemic. Being able to time my trips outside the house based on how the COVID concentration is going is fantastic.
That germ cast app is absolutely amazing! I love the idea of being able to track the concentration of COVID.
