Do Your Part to Help Slow the Spread! As state and local stay-at-home / shelter-in-place orders expire, it is still important that you maintain social distancing and do your part to slow the spread of COVID-19. The following steps are recommended by the CDC:
Wear a cloth face covering outside of the home / in public. Maintain social distancing of at least six feet whenever possible. Wash your hands, especially after contact with frequently-used surfaces. Limit group meetings and activities, and avoid large groups of ten or more people. Avoid all unnecessary travel both within—and outside of—the community.
