Don’t stop now!
What we’re doing now — wearing face coverings and keeping our distance, among others — is working. This is no time to stop protecting ourselves and others!
We can take this incremental step toward reopening because YOU did the hard work. But that trend is fragile. The virus is still circulating widely in our community, vaccine supply remains limited and most of our population remains unvaccinated.
Please continue to practice safety measures to protect our most vulnerable residents
If the county’s metrics worsen, then the old restrictions will have to be reintroduced. Nobody wants that!
- Wear a face covering
- Limit gatherings to small groups
- Keep at least 6 feet away from others outside your household
- Wash your hands
- Stay home if you’re sick
None of us is safe until all of us are safe.
