Until fully vaccinated, you need to continue to follow key preventative steps. And this includes wearing a mask.

Wearing a mask is key. Make sure to wear one when around others. And make sure that it covers both the nose and mouth, too.

The virus is airborne. And it spreads through the air. But a mask will protect us. And masks protect others, too.


Social Distancing


When around others, maintain a minimum of six feet. This is key.

Limit your exposure as much as possible.

Washing and sanitizing of the hands
