Continuing to Protect Ourselves Against COVID-19

It will likely be spring 2021 before a vaccine is available to the public. In the meantime, COVID-19 continues to spread rapidly in our community. We must work together and use all the tools to continue to prevent the spread of COVID-19:

• Wash your hands often 
• Wear a mask in public
• Stay at least 6 feet away from others
• Cover cough using your elbow or with a tissue
• Avoid crowded places and close contact with anyone who is sick
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
• Stay at home as much as possible and if you feel unwell
• Get tested if you have any symptoms of COVID-19
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surface
