Given that our beloved community now has the highest COVID-19 transmission rate in the state, it’s time to once again take it seriously. Although most cases are mild, you’re still likely to miss work, school and play. You could also get very sick or sicken those you love most. Some people have long-lasting symptoms and some die.

To protect yourself, your family, and our shared community from this awful contagion, please mask up and vax up.
