To help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, remember to physically distance, keeping at least 6 feet of space between you and other people whenever possible.
Last week, we reminded you that to use the COVID-19 reporting form if you have COVID symptoms, exposure, or positive test results—note you should report a positive COVID test within 24 hours.
