- Wear your masks at all times in public spaces and anytime you are in proximity to people outside your household.
- Maintain proper social distancing of at least 6 feet and avoid large indoor gatherings.
- Wash your hands regularly and thoroughly.
- Use sanitizer whenever handwashing isn’t readily available.
- If you have any symptoms that could be from COVID, immediately self-isolate and contact your medical provider by phone.
- DO NOT come in to the health centers for testing if you have symptoms or know you are positive. All testing is done either by appointment or drive thru only!
Please do everything possible to prevent the spread of this virus that is a grave threat particularly to our elders and people with existing health conditions. Together we can be strong and resilient through this pandemic.
