- Everyone can take the following steps to stop the spread of COVID-19:
- Refrain from non-essential travel
- Keep 6 feet of distance between yourself and others when in public
- Wear a mask at all times in public spaces, especially when 6 feet of distance cannot be maintained.
- Wash your hands well and often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
- Avoid close and continued contact with other people not in your household

These preventive measures are especially important now as we approach the holiday season and families wish to gather and celebrate. We must all continue to work together to slow the spread of this virus.
