I know the current restrictions aren’t easy and being physically separated from family and friends is difficult, especially at this time of year. But please do everything you can this weekend to stop the spread. (3/4)
Limit your in-person interactions with anyone outside your household as much as possible and continue to follow public health guidance. Wash your hands, monitor yourself for symptoms, stay home when sick, practice physical distancing and wear a mask. (4/4)
