Again, we thank you for your excellent efforts to flatten the COVID19 curve in weeks past. It is because of your dedication to our community’s health that we can begin to relax a few of the restrictions.

At this time, we still need to adhere to some important guidelines to minimize the risk of a secondary outbreak. If we continue on this good path, we will be able to relax things further in June and July. Please: This long weekend, make smart choices. Stay close to home so we can keep our communities safe.

• Stay informed, be prepared and follow public health advice
• Practice good hygiene
  • Frequent hand washing
  • Avoid touching face
  • Cough into your sleeve
  • Disinfect frequently touched surfaces
• Stay at home and away from others if you’re feeling ill
  • Don’t go to school or work sick
• Maintain physical distancing outside your household
  • No handshaking or hugging
    • Small numbers of contacts
    • Keep a safe distance
• Clean your home and workspace more often
• Consider using non-medical masks when physical distancing isn’t possible
  • On transit
  • Shopping
