The Department of Health continues to emphasize the importance of everyone doing their part to stop the spread of COVID-19. Staying at home, if you must go out use physical distancing - staying away from others by at least six feet, and washing hands often with soap and water or using hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available are proven means of stopping the spread of respiratory illnesses like COVID-19.
