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
