Dear Salt Springers,
Again, we thank you for your excellent efforts to flatten the COVID-19 curve in weeks past. It is because of your dedication to our community’s health that we can begin to relax a few of the restrictions.
At this time, we still need to adhere to some important guidelines to minimize the risk of a secondary outbreak. If we continue on this good path, we will be able to relax things further in June and July. Please: This long weekend, make smart choices. Stay close to home so we can keep our communities safe.
• Stay informed, be prepared and follow public health advice
• Practice good hygiene
• Frequent hand washing
• Avoid touching face
• Cough into your sleeve
• Disinfect frequently touched surfaces
• Stay at home and away from others if you’re feeling ill
• Don’t go to school or work sick
• Maintain physical distancing outside your household
• No handshaking or hugging
• Small numbers of contacts
• Keep a safe distance
• Clean your home and workspace more often
• Consider using non-medical masks when physical distancing isn’t possible, such as on transit and while shopping.
