COVID-19 STATEMENT

As the country continues to follow social distancing guidelines to help curb the spread of COVID-19, many of us are experiencing feelings of stress, fear and nervousness. These feelings are normal, and people typically bounce back after difficult times. For now, these measures are critical to help slow the spread of disease to avoid overwhelming the health care system so ill patients can be cared for over time.

 

So what does “social distancing” mean? According to public health officials, social distancing is deliberately increasing the physical space between people to avoid spreading illness.

 

                                                                   Here’s how you can help:

​

• Listen to and follow the directions of your state and local authorities.

• Stay home if you can and avoid any non-essential travel.

• Keep at least six feet away from other people if you must go out in public.

• Avoid eating or drinking in restaurants, bars and food courts. Use drive-thru, pickup or delivery options.

• Avoid visiting nursing homes, retirement or long-term care facilities.

• Stay connected virtually with loved ones through video calls, phone calls, texts or social media.
