As a (Student) Kindred Healthcare caregiver, I pledge to avoid, through appropriate and responsible behaviors like handwashing, social distancing, and mask wearing, the transporting of COVID19 from my personal private surroundings to my professional workplace in order to protect myself, my family, all patients and every other caregiver.
