Every person has a role to play in limiting the spread of COVID-19:
- Practice physical distancing of 6 feet from others.
- Wash your hands with soap and water after you have been in a public place.
- Wear a face covering when in businesses, at school, or unable to maintain 6 feet distance.
- When feeling sick stay home.
