Thank You for Doing Your Part to Help Stop the Spread of COVID |
Last week’s health metrics for Washington County were the lowest they’ve been in months, and that is good news! We wanted to take a moment to recognize and thank everyone for wearing masks, washing and sanitizing their hands, maintaining physical distance, and avoiding large gatherings. Also, we wanted to acknowledge that even despite best efforts, people can still get sick - we are still in a pandemic! And if that happens, you should report the illness right away so we can help contact trace and stop the virus from spreading further - no shame, no blame!
