As summer progresses, and the urge to socialize becomes greater, public health and public safety officials remind residents to remain vigilant in following COVID-19 safety protocols. Follow the State’s Safer at Home Advisory. If you have to go out, wear a face covering when you cannot social distance (stay six feet away from others), and stay home if you are not feeling well. Other states are experiencing spikes in new cases. We were able to reopen because of current safety measures. To stay open and avoid a surge, we must continue to follow these protocols until there is a viable vaccine or medical treatment available.
