Fourth of July / Social Gatherings

Now that summer is in full swing and with the Independence Day holiday and graduation parties picking up it is important to limit the number of contacts people have. According to the Governor’s Executive Order, regions in Phase 4 may have gatherings of 50 people or less. Make sure you are practicing social distancing especially if you have underlying health conditions or are over 65 years old.

Wear masks / face coverings whenever you are out in public, especially if you cannot maintain a 6 foot space between non- household members. Wash or sanitize your hands and shared items often.

The most important thing to remember is if you are having any type of symptoms to STAY HOME!

Some of the symptoms people have been reporting are fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, muscle or body aches, new loss of taste and/or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, headaches, fatigue nausea or vomiting and/or diarrhea.
