The Unified Command reminds everyone to stay home as much as possible and avoid seeing people you do not live with, even if you do not feel sick.
Residents are also reminded to wear a face-covering over their nose and mouth whenever they are outside their home and around others, as COVID-19 can be unintentionally spread to other people. We can also reduce transmission by keeping a physical distance of at least six-feet when outside and around others.
The Unified Command adds that taking these simple safety precautions, in addition to washing your hands frequently, will save lives.
Additionally, it is very important that if you are even mildly sick or think you were exposed to someone with COVID-19 that you stay home and away from other people, especially those at greater risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19, and consider being tested for COVID-19.
