We know that people are struggling with the issue of childcare. However, it is strongly recommended that those who are asked to mind children during this time should NOT be older than age 75, or have a chronic disease, or be in an immunosuppressed state.

Continue to spend time outdoors.
The fresh air is good for kids, and for you as parents. But please do this as a family rather than meeting up in groups.
