Our continued vigilance is critical to ensure we do not have an influx of infected persons. Masks are still a vital part of our daily routine. We must continue to take every precaution we can to ensure that we are all protected. If you are experiencing symptoms, please self quarantine until such time as you can be tested and are cleared by a medical professional.
Stay safe!
