The rapid increase in hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID-19 is a major concern in our community. Protect yourself and the people around you by continuing to stay at home as much as possible, wear a face covering in all public areas, leave 6 feet or more between you and others (non-family members), wash your hands as often as possible, do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands, avoid being around people who are sick and if you are sick, stay at home and self-isolate. These simple but effective public health measures are our best defense in flattening the curve.
