Latest Information from the
Town of Kill Devil Hills

Until there is a vaccine, we must be the vaccine. To keep ourselves, our loved ones, and our community protected we must continue to stay home, practice physical distancing, wash our hands frequently, and wear a cloth face covering when out for essential trips.
 
COVID-19 is not the only thing that is highly contagious. Hope, compassion, and kindness are also extremely contagious, and they are worth spreading, especially in trying times such as this.
 
The changes and sacrifices we have been making have not been easy, but they are making a difference. During this challenging time, it is important that we choose to speak with kindness and compassion. Whether you are speaking with neighbors, out-of-towners, employees, or commenting on social media, please choose goodwill and civility.
 
We encourage you to continue acting as the vaccine. And, in a world where you can be anything, be kind. We're in this together. We’ll get through this together. We’re looking forward to the brighter days ahead, and to get there faster, we must each keep doing our part.
