While our country has seen overwhelmingly positive results in reducing the COVID-19 infection rate, we are clearly not out of the woods yet.

Let’s all remember to stay safe, adopt good hygiene practices, and stay at home as much as you can. If you absolutely must go out, practice social distancing between each other.
