Dear Community,

During these uncertain times we caution the general public to avoid unnecessary risks. We encourage everyone to heed warnings and precautionary measures and also to use commonsense judgment to prevent and protect yourself and others.

The CDC has posted guidelines and recommendations, they should be followed and taken seriously.

COVID-19 Emergency warning signs include:

• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
