Just Because You CAN Doesn't Mean You SHOULD
As we move into the weekend, please make good choices. The spread of COVID-19 in the weeks ahead is going to be heavily determined by social behaviors and choice. Please understand that your choices can impact others. Individuals who are at high risk for serious illness, should continue to stay at home and only travel for essential purposes. Mass gatherings are limited to 10 individuals indoors and 25 outdoors. Maintain social distancing by staying at least 6 feet away from individuals who are not members of your household.

Continue to Practice The Three W’s
If you leave home, practice your Ws: Wear, Wait, Wash

Wear a cloth face covering if you will be with other people.
Wait 6 feet apart. Avoid close contact.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer.
